Condominium Law

Kay & Andersen represents clients in the development and creation of condominiums.

We also represent condominium associations. Condo associations face a host of challenges in maintaining a well-run organization. Often, these challenges involve legal issues which are unique to condominiums.

Condominium association boards benefit from having an attorney available to assist with legal issues, such as:

  • Interpretation of condominium documents.
  • Amendment of condominium documents, such as the declaration, bylaws, rules, etc.

  • Enforcement of condominium rules and covenants.

  • Collection of association fees and assessments.

  • Imposition of fines and liens.

  • Disputes with unit owners.

  • Disputes with management companies and contractors.

  • Condominiums in Wisconsin are subject to the Condominium Ownership Act, which was the subject of major revisions in 2003. The Condominium Ownership Act is lengthy and somewhat complicated, and many lawyers are not well versed in its contents.

    Legal issues frequently tax the time and energy of association boards, many of whom are volunteers. Obtaining proper legal advice before acting helps the board to make the right decision the first time. Legal advice from a qualified lawyer does not have to be expensive, and having the right lawyer available to answer legal questions and give recommendations can boost the morale of the board and avoid problems which come from acting without a good working knowledge of Wisconsin condominium law.
