The ownership of the attic is typically outlined in the HOA's governing documents, such as the bylaws or covenants. In some cases, the HOA may own and maintain the attics of all units or common areas. In other cases, the attic may be considered part of the individual owner's unit and thus owned by the owner. It is important to review the HOA documents to determine the specific ownership arrangements.

Your question sounds like there was an original HOA, which was superseded by a new HOA.

The new HOA has its own form of assessments, regardless of the form of assessments paid to the original HOA.

Can a HOA lock out a tenant if home owner has unpaid HOA fees?
In several words: Yes, and It All Depends. The governing documents must specify that locking out a tenant is one option it can execute -- and one that is well known, documented and legal in your state -- to leverage an owner who does not pay assessments into paying them. If, however, the tactic is not well known, documented and/or legal in this state, the tenant may have a cause of action against the HOA. In this case, the owner enjoys a revenue stream from the unit, which has its operating expenses paid by assessments. So it's reasonable that the HOA use the relationship with the tenant to leverage payment of assessments. Locking out the tenant should be one of the final acts that the HOA takes, after notifying the owner of being in arrears, denying the tenant access to amenities, filing a lien on the unit's title, calling the owner and asking for payment and even stepping into the revenue stream, so that the assessments are paid to the HOA by the tenant's rent. It's also possible that the HOA can sell the unit to recover the monies owed by the owner.
