Condominium Disputes

Throughout the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia areas, condominium development, pre-construction sales, and purchases of condominium units continue to rise. This activity has led to both the development of traditional condo units and new condominium business models that now include retail and hotel condos.

Common Legal Issues with Condominium Complexes

As with any large-scale real estate project, the development, construction, and sale of property involve hundreds of different entities. Because this process involves so many moving parts from a multitude of different partners and contractors, condominium law can quickly become extremely complex if any legal issues do occur. These issues most commonly occur from construction delays to claims of misrepresentation to purchasers, to ongoing management and operational issues and can be apparent no matter what stage of the process a condominium is in.
