HOA and Condominium Disputes in California and Florida

Reiser Law, P.C. represents homeowners, condominium unit owners and community associations in disputes over assessments, records, fines, elections and board conduct. We handle these matters from our Walnut Creek and Miami offices, in state and federal courts and in arbitration.

The law that governs an association dispute depends on the state and on the type of community. Start with the page that matches yours.

California homeowners' and condominium associations

The Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act governs homeowners' associations and condominium associations in California. Our page on HOA disputes for California homeowners covers records requests, fines and hearings, assessments, architectural decisions, elections, and resolving a dispute before suit.

Florida homeowners' associations

Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes governs homeowners' associations. Our page on Florida HOA disputes covers records, fines and suspensions, architectural review, assessments and liens, meetings, elections and recall, and presuit mediation.

Florida condominiums

Florida condominiums fall under a different statute, Chapter 718. Our page on Miami condo special assessment and SIRS disputes covers structural integrity reserve studies, reserve funding, special assessments, owners' records rights, and liens. Our article on Florida condo owners' right to inspect association records explains what owners can request.
