Attorneys who are experienced in the Federal Fair Housing Act can help condominium and homeowners associations avoid potential claims. When faced with an issue that could trigger a claim for discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial discrimination or national origin, a homeowners association should contact an HOA attorney immediately.
Unfortunately, common sense does not always result in the appropriate course of action as this area of law is highly technical and fact-specific. Accordingly, a community association attorney can help provide the necessary guidance to a homeowners association.
