What to Do When Property Damage in Your Condo or HOA Is Ignored

Few things are more stressful than discovering property damage in your Florida condo or community. Whether it’s caused by a water leak, storm, or broken plumbing line, the financial and emotional toll can be overwhelming. In shared living environments such as condominiums and HOAs, these situations are even more complicated because determining responsibility depends on what part of the property was affected—and who was supposed to maintain it.

Under Florida Statutes 718 and 720, associations are legally responsible for maintaining common areas and shared systems, such as roofs, exterior walls, and plumbing infrastructure. When a leak or structural failure originates from those areas, the condo or homeowners’ association may be required to cover the repair costs and compensate you for related damages. Unfortunately, many associations delay or deny responsibility, leaving homeowners with rising bills and damaged property.

When your association refuses to act, you don’t have to face it alone. Our legal team specializes in representing Florida condo and HOA owners dealing with property damage caused by neglect, poor maintenance, or unresponsive boards. We review the governing documents, identify where responsibility lies, and take swift action to enforce repairs and seek compensation for your losses.

Property damage doesn’t just affect walls and ceilings—it affects your home’s value, safety, and peace of mind. If you’re losing income, time, or money because your association failed to maintain the property properly, Florida law gives you the right to demand accountability.

Our attorneys have helped countless homeowners recover repair costs, reimbursement for temporary housing, and even attorney’s fees. Don’t let property damage go unresolved. Contact us today to learn your rights and start the process of restoring your home—and your peace of mind.

Protect Your Rights as a Condo Owner.

If you have property in a condominium or homeowners association, the Association may be responsible for any damage caused to your unit for anything other than your fault.

Did your unit suffer damages for water intrusion?
Is the association failing to meet its responsibilities?
Would you like to change the members of the current board?

If you answer “YES” to any of these questions, we are here to help!

What is Failure to Maintain?

The duties of a community association include management and control of the common areas, including the roof, exterior walls, spaces between the units, and common plumbing and pipes.

In any instance, the association governing documents should be reviewed to determine any specific duties and responsibilities of the association. You may be eligible for recovery if the association has failed to fulfill its duties and your unit sustained damages as a result.

Furthermore, if you are not satisfied with the current politics of your condominium or homeowners association, we can assist you in removing board members. You are as much of an owner as the board members are.
