What Is HOA Law?
A homeowners’ association (HOA) is essentially a hyperlocal government that oversees a condominium building or a subdivision of homes. The elected board members can enforce the HOA’s property codes, perform maintenance, and issue fines for noise or parking violations. While many people appreciate that HOA neighborhoods feature well-maintained properties, HOA boards can also be the source of endless annoyance and disputes.
What Are Some Examples of Situations Where I Might Need an HOA Lawyer?
You should consult with an HOA lawyer to get more information about your rights if you are being fined by your HOA for:
- Excessive noise
- Not following parking rules
- Improper yard maintenance
- Displaying a flag
- Not paying your HOA dues
How Can a Lawyer Help Me With an HOA Dispute?
While HOAs can enforce their own rules, those rules cannot violate federal, Illinois, or laws. A lawyer can determine if your HOA board is acting within the bounds of the law when enforcing violations against you. They can speak with board members on your behalf and work to find a resolution that protects your rights.
What Could Happen if I Don’t Hire an HOA Lawyer?
Without a lawyer, it could be difficult to protect yourself against an HOA board taking advantage of you. HOA disputes cost time and money and can affect your relationships with your neighbors if you do not resolve them promptly.
