HOA Disputes – Loss of Use from HOA’s Failure to Repair Common Areas

Insurance companies put up formidable defenses against even the most meritorious loss of use claims.  Many of our condo damage cases involve an HOA’s flat out refusal and/or failure to make repairs to common areas that are required to be made before our client can then restore and repair his/her individual unit.  When common area hallways abutting your unit are water or mold damaged, that mold and moisture can and will leech over to your unit walls.  Because the CC&Rs prohibit common area repairs by an owner, clients get caught in this repair “bermuda triangle” where the actual repairs are lost because HOA, insurance carrier and owner are disputing liability.  Don’t go it alone.  If you are faced with such a scenario and find yourself about to be left in the lurch with a unit in complete disrepair, contact one of our Los Angeles HOA Dispute Attorneys for a free consultation and case evaluation.
