yes you can go to the assoc fill out the paper work and go from there

Never, ever, ever and I mean ever join a housing association. What happens is you basically pay to lose your rights as a land owner. If you want to continue to rent and have somebody else handle all the work, you can hire private contractors to do that for you.
