We focus on the three most common areas where associations fail their residents:

1. Challenging Unfair Fines and Selective Enforcement

Associations often impose heavy fines for minor violations or target specific homeowners while ignoring others. Ben Akech Law scrutinizes board actions to ensure they follow strict due process. Consequently, we can often get fines overturned by proving the board acted outside its authority or failed to provide proper notice.

2. Resolving Maintenance and Repair Failures

When a COA fails to repair a leaking roof or an HOA neglects common area drainage, your property value suffers. Because boards have a fiduciary duty to maintain common elements, we take aggressive legal action to compel repairs and seek damages for any resulting property loss you have sustained.

3. Defending Delinquent Assessment Claims

If you have fallen behind on dues, Maryland boards may move quickly to place a lien on your home or even initiate foreclosure. However, errors in ledger accounting and illegal late fees are common. We intervene to audit association records, negotiate fair payment plans, and prevent the loss of your home.
