I believe that a unit at Coventry A was empty for a period of 3 yrs without over sight. Perhaps filling the toilet drain with alcohol or anti-freeze would be enough of a deterent.

In our association one person has a key at their disposal. We enter a unit if it is vacant over a period time for inspection with two board members. You may have to put the right to enter and obtain a key in your association by-laws.

I believe that FS 718 covers this issue as follows:
REF:
http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=Ch0718/ch0718.htmFS-718.111(5)
RIGHT OF ACCESS TO UNITS.
--
"The association has the irrevocable right of access to each unit during reasonable hours, when necessary for the maintenance, repair, or replacement of any common elements or of any portion of a unit to be maintained by the association pursuant to the declaration or as necessary to prevent damage to the common elements or to a unit or units".
---------------------------------
I suspect that infestation by Rats, other Vermin or Mold; qualify for Unit access under the Statute, as each may in due course migrate to other Units.

Finally, please no alcohol in the toilet; it will evaporate away in a matter of days but in the meanwhile it is explosively flammable.
also no Anti-freeze, eventually you will have to flush it down the drain; to do so violates Federal Environmental Law as regards disposal of toxic substances.
