Naperville Condominium & Homeowner Association Lawyer

DuPage County Real Estate Lawyer for HOA Bylaws and Condominium Ownership

While condominium units are owned separately, the common areas and facilities are all owned and operated through the building’s homeowners’ association. All individual owners must pay fees to the association as well as follow the rules, regulations, and declarations of the group. However, sometimes issues arise within the condominium owners' or the homeowners’ association that require the need for an attorney. Our office has successfully worked with clients on many different types of condominium and homeowners’ association issues, and we can help your building with the same.

We can handle anything from a building with less than 10 units to complexes with thousands of individual owners.

Illinois Condo and HOA Law

Under Illinois law, the Condominium Property Act, Common Interest Community Association Act, and the Community Association Manager Licensing Act control the majority of the rules, laws, and regulations regarding condominium ownership and homeowners’ association governance. The Association of Condominium, Townhouse, and Homeowners’ Associations (ACTHA) is a nonpartisan group that posts updates on the latest Illinois changes to condominium and homeowners’ association laws.

One important note about condominium and homeowners’ association law that most people are not aware of is that Illinois case law has established that an association’s governing documents and bylaws can provide for the recovery of attorney’s fees. If an association is entitled to enforce its covenants, and it has provided in its paperwork for the recovery of attorney’s fees, the association’s costs can be covered if the court allows it.
