Homeowner & Condo Association Law
HOAs and condominium associations operate under a complex web of governing documents, statutory requirements, and community expectations. We help associations function effectively and help owners navigate disputes.
Homeowner associations and condominium associations are legal entities with real obligations — to collect assessments, maintain common areas, enforce restrictive covenants, and comply with Louisiana law. When associations fail to follow proper procedures, or when individual owners dispute assessments or enforcement actions, legal counsel is often essential to reach a resolution.

- Seeking records and financial transparency from associations
- Defending against association liens
- Resolving disputes about common areas and shared amenities
Louisiana Condominium Law
Louisiana's condominium law (La. R.S. 9:1121.101 et seq.) governs the creation, operation, and governance of condominium associations in the state. Louisiana also has separate statutes governing planned unit developments and other common interest communities. These laws create specific procedural requirements for assessment collection, lien enforcement, and governance that associations must follow.
