FWIW, the word "condo fee" means the money you pay to the condo association 
to maintain the part of the condo you don't own (e.g., the swimming pool, 
the sidewalk, repaint the stairwells, etc.)

Home Owner Association fee is the same thing for separate houses.

The home owner association is a non-profit group made entirely of home 
owners. Similarly for condos. It's there to take care of such shared property.

Rent for a condo (in the USA at least) usually includes the cost of the 
condo fee.
