those who break condominium rules can be held accountable by the homeowner's association because unit owners are completely responsible for the behavior of their guests.

Zimmerman was a renter. Would he or the owner of his unit be responsible?

In the jurisdiction with which I am familiar, the owner would be responsible for making sure that his tenant obeys the rules. Fines, if any, would be levied against the owner and might eventually be paid by foreclosing on the owner.

I can see the possibility that some jurisdictions might have laws which protect the tenant in some ways. Basically, when one owns a condominium, one is entering into a contract with all the other unit owners to manage the jointly owned property according to an agreed upon set of bylaws.

I've seen cases of unit owners explaining that they didn't bother to read the bylaws before purchasing. Such people get no sympathy from the other owners.
