For unit owners
Reviewing resale disclosures before a purchase, understanding special assessments and rules, questions about leasing restrictions, and disputes with a board over repairs, charges or records.
For associations and boards
Interpreting and amending declarations and bylaws, rules and regulations, assessment collection, records requests, meeting and election procedures, and contracts with managers and vendors.
The governing law
Condominiums are governed by the Illinois Condominium Property Act. Many townhome and single-family HOAs fall under the Common Interest Community Association Act. The declaration recorded against the property controls much of the rest.
