Florida HOA and Condominium Law Attorneys
Living in a community association can mean fighting your own board over rules, fees, maintenance, and governance. Jimenez Legal represents Florida homeowners and unit owners, and at times associations, in disputes with HOAs and condominium associations, protecting your property rights and holding boards accountable to their documents and the law.
We handle board mismanagement and breach of fiduciary duty, negligent spending of association funds, selective enforcement, covenant violations, bylaw violations, architectural application disputes, statutory violations, and deficient maintenance of common elements. If your association is overreaching, ignoring its obligations, or treating you unfairly, you have rights.
Florida community associations are governed by their recorded documents and by detailed statutes, Chapter 718 for condominiums and Chapter 720 for HOAs, available through the Florida Statutes. These laws give owners important rights, including access to records, fair enforcement, and proper governance, and many disputes must go through pre-suit mediation or arbitration.
Whether you are defending against an unfair fine or demanding that your board follow the rules, we help you navigate the documents, the statutes, and the dispute-resolution process.

Know Your Rights as an Owner
Florida law gives owners broad rights that boards cannot ignore: to inspect official records, to fair and consistent enforcement of the rules, to proper notice of meetings and elections, and to challenge improper assessments and spending. We help you understand and assert these rights, often starting with a formal records request that reveals what a board would rather keep hidden.
Reading the Governing Documents
Every association dispute starts with the documents, the declaration, articles, bylaws, and rules, read together with the statutes. We analyze this hierarchy to determine what the association actually has the authority to do, whether it followed the required procedures, and where its conduct crossed the line. The answer is often that the board exceeded its authority or skipped a required step.
The Pre-Suit Process
Many Florida HOA and condominium disputes must go through pre-suit mediation or arbitration before a lawsuit can be filed, and certain claims allow the prevailing party to recover attorney's fees. We guide you through these requirements efficiently, resolving matters short of court where possible and litigating when necessary to protect your interests.
