Legal Advocacy in Association-Based Landlord-Tenant Disputes

Community housing entities like HOAs and co-ops face unique challenges when managing disputes between landlords and tenants. Our firm has extensive experience navigating these complexities for boards and property managers.

We provide targeted legal strategies that promote compliance, reduce liability, and resolve disputes efficiently—allowing associations to maintain control, protect their finances, and support long-term community health.

Resolving Community Disputes Involving Objectionable Conduct

Behavior that violates community rules or lease agreements can undermine the health of any association. Our attorneys advise and represent boards in objectionable conduct cases that threaten peace, safety, or building compliance.

We help enforce standards in cases such as:

  • Excessive noise or recurring nuisance reports
  • Pets violating the community’s animal policies
  • Unapproved construction or remodeling activity
  • Harassment or threatening actions toward others
  • Subleasing without board consent
  • Negligent or intentional property damage

We’ve obtained swift, favorable outcomes through Summary Judgments and appellate rulings. Our focus is not just resolution, but protecting board authority and setting enforceable precedent.

Legal Tools for Managing Maintenance Delinquencies

Unpaid maintenance weakens an association’s financial position. Our attorneys apply legal leverage and industry insight to recover arrears in a structured, enforceable manner. We represent clients by:

  • Securing lender cooperation through recognition agreements
  • Managing the foreclosure process from notice to completion
  • Structuring legally binding repayment plans
  • Monitoring compliance with lease and regulatory terms
  • Creating asset-based recovery strategies
  • Negotiating settlements that include interest and legal fees

Our understanding of co-op financials, legal remedies, and documentation enables us to act decisively on behalf of our clients.

Interest Collection Strategies That Work

Interest recovery is more than a penalty; it’s part of your financial right. We work with associations to enforce these terms through detailed legal action. We turn overlooked interest into a meaningful source of recovery and accountability.

We provide the following:

  • Analysis of lease documents for enforceable interest clauses
  • Coordination of collection efforts and enforcement actions
  • Interest tracking, validation, and documentation
  • Legal fee recovery where permitted
  • Structuring interest-inclusive settlements
  • Pursuing judgments that reflect the full amount owed
