QUESTION
Shouldn’t they wait until after the 45 days before they put a lien against the unit?

More details to this question:
We owed homeowners associations’ dues for the property we live in. We received certified mail dated 09/10/12 from lawyer representing the association attempting to collect full amount in addition to attorney's fees. We have a 45 days from date of letter to pay, otherwise he will file a claim of lien against the unit, which we are arranging to do. However, yesterday we received another letter from attorney dated 09/25/12 to notify us about the recorded claim of lien and notice of intent to foreclose and additional amount to pay.

Technically, they have the right to file a lien when you are delinquent. However, since they wrote you a letter, they should be bound by their own terms. I would write them back explaining your intentions and that you are not responsible for any additional charges beyond what was in the first letter, and that they should remove the lien.
