Contact them and work out some payment agreement or schedule you can meet, so as to avoid litigation, having a lien placed on your home, etc. It can be to pay over time; it can be an agreement that you will list the home on the market within a certain amount of time, then pay the arrears once you sell; etc. Whatever you and they agree to--and put in writing is good. If you can't make an agreement with them, they will be able to put a lien on your unit and/or sue you for the money, as well as possibly for legal fees and collections costs.
