Protect Your Rights as a Condo Owner.
If you own property within a condominium or homeowners association community, it’s important to understand that the Association may bear legal responsibility for any damage caused to your individual unit when that damage results from anything other than your own fault or negligence. Many property owners don’t realize the extent of protection they have under Florida law.
- Did your unit suffer damages from water intrusion, leaks, or moisture problems originating from common areas, building envelope failures, or association-maintained systems?
- Is the association consistently failing to meet its legal maintenance responsibilities, ignoring repair requests, or neglecting building upkeep that affects your property and quality of life?
- Would you like to initiate changes to remove or replace the members of the current board of directors due to mismanagement, poor decisions, or failure to fulfill their fiduciary duties to the community?
If you answer “YES” to any of these important questions regarding your condominium ownership rights and the association’s obligations, we are here to help! Our experienced legal team specializes in protecting condo owners’ rights, holding associations accountable, and ensuring you receive the compensation and resolutions you deserve under Florida condominium law.
___________________________________________
What is Failure to Maintain?
The legal duties and obligations of a community association include the comprehensive management and control of all common areas within the property, including critical building components such as the roof systems, exterior walls and building envelope, interior spaces located between individual units, and all common plumbing systems and pipes that serve multiple residents throughout the community.
In any specific instance or situation involving potential association responsibility, the association’s governing documents—including the declaration of condominium, bylaws, and articles of incorporation—should be thoroughly reviewed and carefully analyzed to determine any specific duties, obligations, and responsibilities that the association bears under its legal framework. These documents establish the precise boundaries between association and owner maintenance obligations.
You may be eligible for financial recovery, compensation for damages, and reimbursement of repair costs if the association has failed to properly fulfill its mandatory duties and legal obligations, and as a direct result of this failure or neglect, your individual unit sustained damages, losses, or deterioration that would not have occurred had the association performed its required maintenance responsibilities in a timely and appropriate manner.
Furthermore, if you are not satisfied with the current politics, decision-making processes, financial management, or overall direction of your condominium or homeowners association under the existing board leadership, we can provide experienced legal assistance in removing or replacing board members through proper legal procedures. It’s important to remember that you are as much of an owner and have just as many rights within the community as the current board members are, and you have the legal authority to participate in governance decisions, challenge improper actions, and advocate for changes that better serve the entire community’s interests.
