title: Should board credit check new condo buyers?
description: I live in a condo complex. One of the units went into foreclosure.  It is up for public auction and has not sold in two months. Do board members and owners have the right to do a credit check on people that bid on the unit to be sure they are qualified since we have home owner dues and a reserve?

## What do you think? Question:

I live in a 3 unit condo complex. One of the units went into foreclosure as the owner has died. It is up for public auction and has not sold in two months. A very low bid came in and the Public Assistant may consider the bid. Do we as board members and owners have the right to do a credit check on people that bid on the unit to be sure they are qualified since we have home owner dues and a reserve?
