There Are Many Types Of Common Areas
Common areas are spaces within an HOA that all members can access and enjoy. Examples include:
- Parks
- Walking paths
- Pools
- Event buildings
- Sports facilities
Legal issues can emerge related to the maintenance, funding and use of such areas.
Addressing Maintenance Issues
Your HOA’s governing documents should specify who is in charge of maintaining common areas. This responsibility typically rests with the HOA itself. When members claim that these areas are not being kept up to par, it could have serious consequences for your HOA. Recall efforts or lawsuits against the HOA could result. So, getting in front of such conflicts can be critical. Our firm can help you pursue proactive and effective solutions to maintenance-related disputes.
Funding Common Areas
The expenses associated with common areas can be substantial. They will typically be a major component of your HOA’s annual budget. In certain cases, special assessments may be necessary to address emergency repairs or improvements. Our goal-focused lawyers can guide your board through the legal aspects of managing the funding of common areas.
Upholding Community Rules And Harmony
Your HOA’s governing documents likely include specific rules on how members can use common areas. Violations can detract from everyone’s enjoyment of these amenities. Addressing such issues delicately can be crucial to maintaining community harmony. Our experienced attorneys offer the knowledgeable legal support you need to enforce rules effectively and fairly. From start to finish, we will put your HOA’s best interests first.
