I relocated to Florida and after 5 months of renting this condo, the association presented me with a "garnishment of rent" advising me to pay my rent directly to the association being the unit owner is in arrears. Am I to pay the association or the unit owner the rent? The management office told me they can file for an eviction being the unit is in a FORECLOSURE status (which was news to my ears) and then the owner doesn't want me to pay the rent to the association and threatened with eviction. Who has the right to evict? Who do I pay rent to?

Ll?
Thank you. The notice did go out to a lot of unit tenants and it turns out the individual who signed a lease with me was a PREVIOUS owner, not the current owner (guess they happen to be "friends/associates"). But it's happening to a lot of the unit tenants, including the one next to me which I thought was the same owner as my unit but turns out .... it's not. I feel like I'm in a nightmare. I feel like I'm caught up in a scam. It's so frustrating to move from out of state and get in the middle of all of this. I should be paying rent to have a roof over my head and occupy residency in peace, not get caught up in this BS!!! ugh, im so frustrated.

thank you .... I was just thinking that i have a right to see this "declaration" which outlines the tenants paying rent to the association instead of the unit owner. they also indicated in this "garnishment" that the association may immediately commence legal action to terminate the lease, subject to provisions of Florida law and the Declaration. The article 13.8 of the "declaration " is demanding tenants to pay rent directly to the association until all arrears are up to date.
