HOA Dispute Resolution: Guidance For Homeowners
I am Bob Morton, an attorney based in North Carolina, and I have been serving the community since 1997. I provide advice and representation for homeowners and homeowners association (HOA) boards when HOA disputes arise.
At my firm, North Raleigh Law, I focus on helping people understand their rights and obligations as an HOA homeowner and resolving their HOA disputes through negotiation, mediation or, if necessary, courtroom litigation.
Understanding Common HOA Disputes
Disputes with an HOA can range from simple misunderstandings to complex legal battles. Here are some common issues homeowners face:
- Architectural review conflicts
- Rule enforcement issues
- Assessment and fee disputes
- Transparency and governance disputes
- Common area usage problems
- Disputes over maintenance responsibilities
- Disagreements over rental restrictions
- Insurance and liability issues
- Disputes over security measures
- Conflict over special assessments for major community projects
- Disputes over HOA debt collection practices
- Foreclosure actions taken by the HOA
Unlike many lawyers, I represent homeowners in HOA dispute resolution. Homeowners often find themselves at a disadvantage in these disputes, and it’s crucial to have a dedicated advocate on your side. Whether you are dealing with fee disputes, rule enforcement or any other HOA issue, I am here to assist.
My Approach To HOA Dispute Resolution
HOA disputes can often be resolved without lengthy legal battles. Here’s how I can help:
- Initial consultation: I recommend starting with a fee-based consultation where I review all pertinent documents related to your dispute and then discuss possible solutions in a half-hour phone consultation. This is often enough to get the ball rolling.
- Experienced representation: If the issue can’t be resolved through initial advice, I have substantial experience in mediation and, if necessary, litigation to protect your interests.
