Condominiums & neighbour disputes
The dispute is with the people who live above or beside you. We choose the fastest sensible route: agreement where possible, a ruling where necessary.
The Land Registry Superintendent
Condominium and neighbour-dispute lawyers: claims before the Superintendent of Land Registration, encroachment on common property, annexations, maintenance fees, leaks between apartments and amending the condominium order.
Disputes between owners in a condominium – use of common property, management and contributions to expenses – are usually heard by the Superintendent, a judicial tribunal under the Land Law. We represent owners and committees there and on appeal.
Common disputes
- Takeover of roofs, yards, stairwells, storage or parking.
- Extensions without consent or permit.
- Unpaid maintenance fees and urgent repairs.
- Leaks and dampness.
- Nuisance – noise, odours, air-conditioners, business use.
- Registering and amending the condominium order.
Neighbour disputes outside condominiums
Boundaries and encroachment, rights of way, fences, trees, drainage and nuisance – usually in the Magistrates' Court, where mediation often saves years of conflict.
