Conflict / Dispute Resolution
The fact is that conflicts are more likely to occur among condominium homeowners, who generally live in close proximity to one another, share ownership of common elements, and are subject to stricter-than-usual limits on their property rights, than those who live in traditional single-family homes.
Associations enforce rules and violations of the governing documents, however, they are not usually in any position to mediate disputes between members, nor should they be.
There are many avenues that homeowners can take in resolving disputes. Below are a couple of links that may be helpful in establishing a peaceful living situation:
- Anne Arundel Conflict Resolution Center (AACRC)
- Resolving Disputes Between Neighbors in a Homeowners Association
So, you purchased your home in a HOA thinking they would protect you from neighborhood nuisances. Now, you find yourself in exactly the situation you wanted to avoid - in the midst of a dispute with the folks next door.
