Homeowners Associations
All
condominium developments and many single family
residential communities today were planned and developed
with covenants in place to establish standards,
restrictions and rules applicable to the entire
community. Homeowners associations, typically organized
as nonprofit corporations, are charged with the primary
responsibility to enforce covenants and generally
oversee condominium communities and many planned single
family residential communities.
Legal issues and conflicts regarding the
authority of homeowner associations and the rights and
remedies of individual homeowners are increasingly
common in these planned communities. Our firm represents
both homeowner associations and individual homeowners in
planned communities. We provide advice and
representation to homeowners confronted with issues
regarding covenants, rules, assessments and conflicts
with neighbors or their association.
We also provide advice and
representation to homeowner associations regarding
enforcement and collection of delinquent homeowners'
dues and assessments, covenant and rule enforcement,
review and preparation of association documents (e.g.,
covenants, bylaws, rules, articles, proxies, voting
petitions), the preparation and review of vendor
contracts and diverse litigation services.
