Tenant Stuck In Middle Of Dispute Between Landlord Facing Foreclosure & Homeowners' Association; Refused Pass To Access Front Gate

In Palm Beach County, Florida, WPEC-TV Channel 12 reports:
  • A Riviera Beach woman is caught in the middle of a dispute between a homeowners association and the condo owner she rents from. Kateshia Johnson is a single mom with four small kids. She rents a condo from a private individual at Thousand Oaks, a gated community [...]. She says the person who owns the condo at Thousand Oaks is going through foreclosure, and has stopped paying the association dues and mortgage.

  • Because of that, Kateshia says the homeowners association won't issue a bar code decal for Kateshia's car to access the front gate. That means they won't let her car in and she and her kids have to park it outside the gate at Thousand Oaks and walk to and from their condo everytime they want to go somewhere. She has four children between the ages of twelve and three, and they live about three blocks from the gate.
