Can you go back to your condominium that you still own if you did not pay the Condominium Association?
Your access to your real estate may or may not be affected by your non-payment of assessments that you owe.
For example, if the association has filed liens on your title and performed other acts to collect your past-due assessments, they may have taken the final step which is to sell your unit to pay what you owe.
If this is true, you should be well aware of the status of your access. As well, the association may have changed the locks on the entry doors.
If, however, no action has been taken by the association to collect your past-due amounts, you may well be able to 'go back' to your condominium.
That said, once you re-establish residency or attempt to rent the property, your association may begin or renew actions to collect what you owe.
Best practices dictate that you work with the association to 'clean up' your obligations.

Can you go back to your condominium that you still own?
Your answer depends on you, the occupants of the condominium, and the current state of the real estate. If you are able to 'go back' to your condominium and it is unoccupied and still standing, you can probably 'go back'. If your condominium is occupied under a legal agreement, such as a lease, you may not be able to 'go back' to the unit, except to visit and with notice and permission of the tenant. If the property has been condemned, or is otherwise not available for occupancy, you may not be able to 'go back' to it.

How does neighbor's insurance company determine if my condominium unit's plumbing caused water damage to neighbor's flooring?
Check With your Condo Association first. Your Condominium Association would usually have a Master Insurance Policy that covers losses from common owned property, structural components and conveyances and liabilities. This would generally include plumbing in exterior and common walls and possibly resulting water damges. Generally a Carpenter or Inspector will inspect the damaged flooring down to the sub flooring if necessary and trace the water stains or rot back to teh source. Water damage can can be higly visible and easily traced by a Carpenter once the damage area is exposed, often even without esposing it. Water damage is one of the more common property loss exposures. If there is no water source for the damage in the inspected unit and it tracks back through a common wall, then it's fairly easy to determine the source of water damage. Check with your Condo Association first as they may have the coverage needed for community loss exposures.
