A recent decision by the Florida Second District Court of Appeal in Ballentrae H.O.A., Inc., v. Federal National Mortgage Association, Case Nos. 2015-1025 and -1026 (Fla. 2nd DCA, September 2, 2016) has once again brought to the forefront the issue of the application of an association’s lien subordination clause to a mortgage lender post-foreclosure. In 2013, two properties within Ballentrae H.O.A., Inc. (“Association”) were foreclosed by Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”).
