Legal Summary
This bill creates the definition in the Maine Condominium Act of "priority amounts," which includes heat, utility and regular condominium association assessments for a 6-month period before filing a lawsuit to enforce a lien and the costs and attorney's fees to enforce the lien. This bill also gives a lien based upon priority amounts priority over a first mortgage and establishes that, if the association fails to send the first mortgagee notice of a lien action, the association cannot collect costs or attorney's fees.
