Condo Q&A

Illinois Condo Association owner abandons unit and leaves behind unpaid dues

A condo unit owner in my Illinois Condo Association recently disappeared.  It was later found out that he had purchased another house, and did not notify the Association of his move.

A court record revealed that his unit had foreclosed, though he stayed long after and continued to pay dues. He has also left the property in dismay, as well as left behind an inoperable and unregistered vehicle in the garage.

Can the Condo Association legally turn off water to his unit, have his car towed, and make adjustments to the unit to appear that it is not vacant?

Does the bank owe the Condo Association for unpaid fees? If not the bank, then who?
