Condo Association Disputes

Effective Resolution of Condominium Association Disagreements

Disputes within condominium associations are a prevalent issue that can stem from various sources, including but not limited to:

Bylaw Enforcement and Rule Adherence

Disagreements frequently arise over the interpretation and enforcement of the condo association’s bylaws and rules. These can encompass a wide array of issues from pet ownership restrictions to renovation guidelines. Our team excels in advocating for our clients’ rights, ensuring fair and consistent application of the association’s rules.

Improper Violation Fees or Fines

New laws have been enacted to regulate how condo associations levy fines against owners. Unfortunately, many associations fail to follow the statutory procedures, leading to improper or excessive fines. At Anti Association Lawyers, PLLC, we are well-versed in these new regulations and can help you challenge any fines that have been levied against you unfairly. We ensure that your rights are protected and that any action taken by the association complies with the latest legal standards.

Financial and Fee-Related Conflicts

Financial disputes are common in condo associations, particularly regarding special assessment fees, violation fines, budgets not meeting statutory requirements, and other mishandling of association funds. We assist our clients in contesting unwarranted fees and in demanding transparency and accountability in the association’s financial practices.

Architectural Controls and Property Modifications

Condo owners wishing to modify their units may face hurdles imposed by their condo association. Our legal expertise is crucial in negotiating these disputes, ensuring that property rights are respected while adhering to the association’s guidelines.

Elections and Recalls

Do you suspect your association board is committing fraud by stealing money or that it’s getting kickbacks from preferred vendors? Are your records requests ignored or the Board and management company are giving you the run around regarding access to records?  Our team of experts can assist with the election and recall process which are one of various tools to create the necessary changes needed to have transparency and accountability from your Association. 

Interference of Sales and Leases

Did you lose the sale of your property or a potential tenant due to the Association’s failure to approve the buyer or tenant? Or did you lose a sale due to deficiencies in the Association’s reserves, financial records, condition of the common areas or insufficient coverage in the master policies? We are here to help you defend your rights to sell and lease your property.

Common Area Maintenance and Use

Conflicts over the maintenance, use, or accessibility of common areas within the condominium complex are also frequent. Has your elevator been broken for too long? Is your pool green? Has your gym been closed for months? Is your building’s roof leaking? Do you have water filtration from the outside structure or main plumbing lines? Are there uneven sidewalks or walkways that are trip hazards? Is the lighting in the parking and common areas insufficient? Are the entry or parking gates frequently inoperable creating safety concerns? Is your community in unsafe structures with the building department because of the Association’s failure to complete a building recertification requirement?

Whether the dispute concerns the upkeep of shared facilities or the equitable use of amenities, our attorneys work diligently to secure resolutions that uphold our clients’ interests.
