What is an HOA/Condo Lawyer?

An HOA/condo attorney is a legal professional that focuses on community association law. A community association is a non-governmental body made up of participating members. The most common examples include condo associations, townhome associations, and HOAs. For the most part, HOA law and condominium association law is governed at the state and municipal level—meaning parties need representation from a local attorney.

How Can an HOA/Condo Lawyer Help?

Our Chicago HOA and condo law attorneys provide comprehensive services to community organizations and community boards in Illinois. We can help assist you with anything from drafting foundational governing documents to handling litigation with individual unit owners. Among other things, our HOA lawyers have experience with:

Drafting of community association documents;
HOA contract review;
Condominium contract review;

Interpretation and guidance regarding governing documents;

What is an HOA Dispute Letter?

An HOA dispute letter refers to any written notice received by a community association board that describes an individual member’s complaint or contains a threat of legal action. It is imperative that HOA/condo boards know how to effectively respond to dispute letters. A proactive approach can make all of the difference. If your association recently received a dispute letter, contact an attorney for HOA disputes for immediate assistance.

How Will a Lawyer Help with Unpaid Assessments?

HOAs and condo associations have a legal responsibility to collect financial assessments. Only with incoming assessments can the community continue to function. If too many members fall behind, even basic maintenance and repairs can become impossible. It is always best to take immediate action to collect unpaid balances. The longer a delinquent assessment is allowed to linger, the more challenging it can be to recover the full amount that is owed. An experienced homeowners’ association lawyer can help an association take action to recover unpaid assessments. Among other things, this could include:

Getting a lien on the delinquent unit owners’ property;
Obtaining an Order of Possession through an eviction action; and
Taking action to foreclose on the property, including pursuing post-judgment foreclosure payment.

If you represent an association seeking to collect delinquent assessments, we are prepared to help. Our Chicago HOA/condo lawyers understand the not-for-profit nature of HOAs/condo and are focused on providing cost effective representation, collecting unpaid assessments in the most efficient manner possible.
