Guiding homeowners’ associations through legal complexities, our team provides reliable counsel on governance, compliance, and dispute resolution. We help HOAs operate effectively while protecting their legal rights and preserving community harmony.
Enforcement of the Terms of the HOA’s Declaration, By-Laws, and House Rules
At Schneider Buchel LLP, we support HOA boards in enforcing their Declaration, By-Laws, and House Rules effectively and lawfully. Many Boards unknowingly adopt rules or policies outside their legal authority, which can expose the association to liability. Our attorneys ensure your governance is rooted in the authority granted by your founding documents and that changes are executed through proper homeowner voting procedures when required.
We also represent boards in defending against homeowner-initiated lawsuits related to rule enforcement.
In many cases, we recommend a governing document amendment that enables the HOA to recover legal fees from homeowners who sue and fail to prevail. This provision discourages baseless litigation and protects association resources.
Enforcement challenges can spiral into expensive disputes if mishandled or delayed. We help boards address issues promptly, mitigating risks before they escalate. With broad legal authority and focused counsel, your HOA can enforce its rules confidently and avoid unnecessary complications. Whether the goal is proactive compliance or a strategic defense, our team provides experienced guidance every step of the way.
