Condo Associations rights to enter???? (Miami, Miami Beach: apartment, leasing, live)

[jhjanson25]

Long story short I am renting a condo from someone who lives out of state, pretty typical for Miami Beach. The owner was trying to get ahold of me one day and I was not available to speak with them when they called. The next thing I know my door is unlocked, opened and there is a staff member for the condo association telling me the owner called and told them to come in and that I have to go speak to the condo manager. All of this because I was unavailable when the phone rang. do they have the right to come in and does the owner have the right to send them in? I did sign a lease for this property also. Thanks!!

Was this an emergency? or just to chat?

It wasnt an emergency by any means.

Read your lease contract and see if this allowed. If this is not, contact the owner/Property Manager and state your concern. This should be an easy fix and you should not have further situation like the one that you mentioned.

I agree- go over your lease contract. Most of the time they can only enter if they have reasonable legal or emergency reasons. Fire- loud noise- smoke- flooding- etc. Check out your contract very close and make sure it doesnt give "any association or management member" access to your apartment. I personally have seen the effects of that little clause.

Is that something that nice, classy buildings have built into their association clauses, or is it primarily used by *****-lower value condo buildings? Or do both nice and *****buildings like to invade people's privacy?

Let's clear your comments. Is up to the individual leasing/renting to read and understand what is he/she accepting on the contract. The individual either agree or move to another place that meets or exceeds his/her needs.

Now, please avoid the negative inputs and think before you post. Negative inputs generate negative outputs.


Thank you,
