Few association budgets can accommodate the huge sums of money required to pursue or defend a lawsuit, and no one is happy to see an association’s money spent on lawyers.

The best way to spare your community such trauma is by studying your community’s governing documents, understanding your legal responsibilities and staying alert for these common legal predicaments.
