Condo & HOA Damage Claims
Condominium and homeowners’ associations have a legal obligation to maintain, repair and replace common elements. This obligation is set forth under Florida law and in the documents establishing/controlling an association’s responsibilities. However, associations often fail to keep common elements in good repair. This can result in damage to your home and even render the property unfit for living. For example, if the association is responsible for maintaining your roof or plumbing systems, but they fail to do so and your property suffers damage, the association may be liable for the costs of repairs and the loss of use of the property. This may include lost rents if the property is tenant-occupied.
GMS Law has experience representing homeowners against their associations for failing to properly repair and maintain roofs, exterior walls, plumbing and risers. If you believe your property has been damaged because of your association’s failure to maintain, repair or replace common elements (e.g., roofing, walls, plumbing, etc.), please contact us for a free consultation.
