Common HOA/Condo Board Issues We Handle

If your board is facing one of these situations, you’re not alone—and there is usually a cleaner, less expensive way to handle it than winging it.

• Delinquencies rising and the board needs a consistent collections system
• Rule enforcement disputes (pets, parking, rentals, architectural changes, nuisance behavior)
• Owner claims of selective enforcement or inconsistent treatment
• Document confusion (what governs, what’s enforceable, what’s outdated)
• Vendor problems (snow, landscaping, roofing, repairs, security, management disputes)
• Meeting and election issues (notice, quorum, voting, minutes, authority questions)

Some association disputes overlap with other practice areas. When they do, we coordinate strategy across related matters such as Construction Law, Real Estate Law, and Business and Corporate Law.

FAQs About Michigan Condominium and HOA Law

What does an HOA/condo association lawyer do for a board?

Board counsel helps the association make defensible decisions, apply rules consistently, manage risk, handle disputes efficiently, and keep governance and operations running smoothly—especially when conflict is rising.

When should a board involve an attorney for collections?

When delinquencies start to strain the budget, the board needs a consistent written policy, or an owner dispute is escalating. The goal is a predictable system, and not one-off reactions.

How can a board reduce selective-enforcement claims?

Consistency is everything: one written policy, applied the same way, with clear documentation. When exceptions are made, the board should document objective reasons so exceptions don’t become the rule.

Do you work with property managers and management companies?

Yes. We frequently coordinate with managers to improve processes (collections, notices, enforcement documentation, vendor contracts) and reduce the board’s exposure over time.

Do you represent homeowners too?

Sometimes. The first step is understanding the issue and checking for conflicts. If we cannot represent you, we’ll tell you quickly.
