When Water Damage in Your Condo or HOA Becomes a Legal Issue

Water damage can strike suddenly—burst pipes, roof leaks, or drainage failures—and in shared living communities like condos or HOAs, determining who is responsible isn’t always simple. In Florida, responsibility often depends on whether the damage comes from a common element (like the roof, plumbing lines, or exterior walls) or from within a private unit.

When water damage comes from shared property, the condo or homeowners’ association is typically responsible for repairs under Florida law. That includes fixing the source of the leak and restoring any damage caused by their negligence. Unfortunately, many associations delay repairs or refuse to cover the costs, leaving owners with ruined walls, ceilings, and furniture—and no immediate help.

If your association is ignoring your calls or downplaying the damage, you may have a valid legal claim under Florida Statute 718 or 720, depending on your community type. Our legal team helps homeowners and condo residents document the damage, prove association liability, and recover the costs of repairs, cleanup, and even lost wages.

Water damage doesn’t just destroy property—it disrupts lives. You shouldn’t have to fight alone to get the help you’re entitled to. Contact us today to learn how Florida law can protect your rights and help you recover from costly water damage.

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.

When water leaks into your condominium

Whether from a roof, shared plumbing, or another unit—the damage can be expensive and stressful. Under Florida law, condominium associations are usually responsible for repairs to common areas. If your association refuses to act, you need a lawyer who will hold them accountable and protect your investment.
