COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION LAW
CONDOMINIUM AND HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS (“community associations”) oversee millions of people in NJ. This area of law is governed by state statutes, case law, and the governing documents of the particular organization. Frequently, the documents are outdated, unorganized, and in questionable compliance with the law. This can cause major headaches for both the associations and the people governed by them.
MS. WEFER ARGUED and prevailed in Mazdabrook v. Khan, a Supreme Court case where the court found the HOA’s rules concerning the posting of political signs violated the NJ state constitution. However, even before that case got to the Supreme Court, both the Appellate Division and Trial Court found that the association failed to follow its own rules concerning notice requirements to homeowners and the amount of fees that the association can permissibly impose. Other cases Ms. Wefer has handled confirm that HOAs and Condo Associations can face serious consequences when they fail to follow the law. While the amounts at issue are usually small, the cost of litigation can be quite high.
WHETHER YOU ARE A community association seeking to minimize legal exposure, a sponsor seeking to draft clear and compliant governing documents as you transition to an owner-controlled board, or an individual member having problems with your community association, the Law Offices of Dana Wefer has the experience to guide you through this confusing and ever-changing area of the law.
