Condo board - credit checks.

the only thing a condo do is "RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL". that means that the condo building will have to buy the apartment for the negotiated price. do you really think they'll do that???

no, the management company should have a purchase qualification package and process and can refuse you based on a fear of inability to pay common charges, presumably. I was astounded to learn this when I moved from coop ownership to condo ownership... now I scratch my head and say, whats the f'in difference?

glad to hear your medical/financial health has improved--since the two are so linked these days if one isnt seriously wealthy

Board might possibly want X number of months common charges put into escrow.

if that's the case, then we have come to a point where condos and coops are more or less the same and the only difference is the higher closing costs on condos.

Write a cover letter on top of your board application explaining your situation just as you've explained it to us.

There is absolutely no reason why a condo "board" should be authorized to run any kind of credit check on you. You legally do NOT have to provide your SSN to anyone but the Social Security Administration and prospective employers only for Social Security withholding purposes.

There is no reason for the condo "board" to have your SSN, your driver's license number, or any other information other than your name, current address, and contact telephone number.
