Although a homeowners’ association does not have legal personality, it can still acquire rights, incur obligations, and actively participate in civil proceedings. A homeowners’ association also has a number of rights and obligations, which are often closely linked to legal regulations.
Legal services for homeowners’ associations – why is it worth using them?
Even the best-managed homeowners’ association must face issues arising among residents. It often happens that members fall into arrears with payments, which then need to be pursued through court proceedings. In such cases, it is beneficial to have a lawyer who can represent the association in court. Homeowners’ associations are also responsible for entering into contracts (e.g., for property management or construction works). A qualified legal advisor can recommend which provisions should be included in agreements to properly safeguard the interests of the association and its members. The Act on Ownership of Premises effectively imposes a formalized procedure when adopting resolutions by homeowners’ associations. A lawyer can assist in drafting resolutions and ensuring that they are adopted in compliance with the law. Homeowners’ associations also play an important role in cases involving business activities conducted in premises located within residential buildings. In such situations, legal assistance can also prove valuable—particularly in negotiations with investors and in protecting the interests of the association.
