Johnny Depp won, can you win against lies from Condo or HOA residents?

June 9, 2022 by Raymond Dickey

Can you win defamation case against residents?

HOA and condominium board members are maligned, disparaged, defamed and attacked on social media on a regular basis. I interviewed condo and HOA attorney David J. Byrne to see if there are similarities that can be drawn between the $10,000,000 Johnny Depp victory and what goes on in our industry.

Don’t spend the $10,000,000 right now (lol), but we do discuss scenarios such as whether slandered board members are entitled to compensation when published lies prevent them from enjoying their own community amenities or discourage them from the volunteerism and service they dedicate to their associations.

I just saw our association’s budget and was surprised to see the huge amount budgeted for Legal Expense. We could probably hire two full-time attorneys for what is budgeted. Is there a formula for figuring out what appropriate annual legal expenses should be based on an association’s size and overall budget? The amount my community plans to spend seems excessive.

Maintaining Community Law and Order Amid Homegrown B&Bs

April 11, 2018 by Michelle Tomko

I recently discovered the money-saving option of booking a vacation rental directly from the owner of a condo on an online market place. It was a fantastic experience. I had a more personal experience than if I had stayed in a hotel. Most importantly, I saved a bunch of money. But one thing I didn’t consider as an end-user was “What will the neighbors think?” I honestly didn’t give them a second thought. But I can assume it’s not fun for community members who are now dealing with strangers — safety issues, noise and extra traffic —  all because their neighbor has decided to make some extra money at home…well really, with their home.

To Sue, or Not to Sue a Delinquent Owner? That is the Question

February 27, 2018 by Alyssa Gautieri

Sometimes an association is owed an amount of money, that is significant to the association. However, despite the amount, a board may decide the collection actions may generate amounts in attorneys’ fees that are greater than the underlying arrearage. That board then votes to ignore the balance and take action. [Read more…] about To Sue, or Not to Sue a Delinquent Owner? That is the Question

Associations Take Control — Strategies for Recovering Delinquent Assessments

October 19, 2017 by AHN Staff

Unpaid assessments can create a great deal of stress for an association, leaving both management and boards feeling helpless. However, an association is not helpless. Attorney David Byrne, of Ansell, Grimm & Aaron, PC, shared two recent scenarios where associations were able to recoup monies lost and ensure payment of ongoing assessments, all without breaking the bank, or in this case, the budget, by using creative and smart efforts.
