At Rubio & Associates, we provide legal services tailored to the unique needs of condominium associations. Our attorneys have extensive experience advising and representing condominium boards, unit owners, and property managers on all aspects of condominium law. From governance and compliance to dispute resolution, we help associations navigate the complexities of managing a condominium community in accordance with local, state, and federal laws.
Governance & Compliance
Proper governance is essential to the smooth operation of any condominium association. Rubio & Associates assists boards in understanding and fulfilling their fiduciary duties to the association and its members. We provide legal guidance on drafting and amending governing documents such as bylaws, declarations, and rules and regulations, ensuring they are up-to-date and compliant with applicable laws. Additionally, we assist with policy creation, conflict resolution procedures, and enforcement actions to maintain a harmonious living environment.
We also help condominium associations stay compliant with Florida’s Condominium Act and other relevant laws. This includes providing advice on annual meetings, elections, and proper record-keeping practices, as well as ensuring that the association adheres to its financial and operational obligations.
Contracts & Vendor Relationships
Condominium associations frequently engage vendors for services such as maintenance, landscaping, repairs, and management. Rubio & Associates reviews, negotiates, and drafts contracts to ensure that the association’s interests are protected in these relationships. Our attorneys carefully analyze vendor agreements to minimize potential liability, clarify service expectations, and enforce performance standards. Whether negotiating new contracts or resolving disputes with vendors, we ensure that the association’s needs are met effectively and within budget.
Assessment Collection & Financial Matters
Managing the association’s financial health is a critical responsibility of the board. Rubio & Associates advises on all aspects of financial management, including the collection of assessments and dues from unit owners. We assist with establishing and enforcing procedures for timely assessment collection and provide counsel on handling delinquent accounts. When necessary, we pursue legal remedies, such as liens or foreclosure actions, to recover unpaid assessments and protect the association’s financial interests.
In addition, our firm offers guidance on budgeting, reserve funds, and financial reporting to ensure the association remains financially sound and compliant with applicable financial regulations.
Dispute Resolution & Litigation
Disputes between unit owners, the association, and third parties are inevitable in any condominium community. Rubio & Associates helps associations resolve disputes efficiently and cost-effectively, whether through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. Our goal is to minimize conflict while ensuring the rights of the association and its members are upheld.
When litigation becomes necessary, our attorneys are prepared to represent condominium associations in court. We handle a wide range of disputes, including covenant enforcement, construction defects, breach of contract claims, and fair housing issues. Our experienced litigation team works to achieve favorable outcomes while minimizing disruption to the condominium community.
