Rent is a specific term that implies use of an asset that you do not own. Unless you are a tenant and your landlord owns the condominium, you do not pay rent.
When you buy a condominium, you do, however, agree to pay monthly assessments. Assessments collected by the association are used to pay the operating costs of the community. Costs may include:
- professional services, including property management, attorney, CPA and so forth
- operational services, including landscape, pool, elevator, preventative maintenance and so forth
- master insurance policy premiums that insure the physical property
- contributions to reserves so that when it's time to replace major real estate assets, such as a roof, or the windows, the association has the funds to pay for the replacement
- other unique expenses based on the unique assets owned
Read your governing documents to understand that as an owner you have a responsibility, both tied to the title you hold on the unit and potentially a personal liability to pay your monthly assessments.
When you don't pay your assessments, your board can file a lien against your title, and potentially foreclose on your title to satisfy this debt that you owe.
