Violation and Covenant Enforcement

Straley | Otto believes that rule violation and covenant enforcement must first start with a proper interpretation of the governing documents, in conjunction with Florida law. After reviewing the client’s governing documents, we offer practical advice as to approaches available to address and, hopefully, resolve the situation. Often, approaches other than lengthy law suits, arbitration, or other legal proceedings are appropriate and lead to positive results. When these other approaches do not resolve a violation, though, we are fully prepared to immediately pursue appropriate legal action. Most importantly, we encourage a well-thought-out, consistent approach to enforcement, often with the assistance of the Board of Directors or the community’s manager.
