    Your location would be a good start as we are a GLOBAL site and laws vary.

    How old is the debt, and have they received proper notice of the debt ? ( been billed)
    What are the rules of the association in regards to collections of these?

    How does the association collect other unpaid bills ?

    To be honest, easiest, turn it over to a collection company who will do all the work.

    Read the lease. It should include penalties for default. But generally you need Lincolnshire and obtain a judgment.
