Can I sue my condo association if they breach their contract?

Yes, you can sue your condo association if they breach their contract in Alaska. A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill the terms of an agreement, thus violating the contract and causing harm to the other party. According to Alaska Condominium statutes, if the condo association breaches its contract by failing to perform its obligations as stated in the governing documents, you may be able to take action. To bring a breach of contract lawsuit against the condo association, you must first establish the four elements of a breach of contract suit: an offer, an acceptance, consideration, and a breach. The offer is when you make the agreement with the condo association, the acceptance is when they agree to the terms of the contract, the consideration is the item of value that is exchanged, and the breach is when the condo association fails to perform its end of the agreement. Once you have established the breach of contract, you can bring a lawsuit against the condo association. In Alaska, you can file a lawsuit in either small claims court for damages up to $10,000 or superior court for damages over $10,000. You may seek damages such as lost wages, property damage, court fees, and more. If successful in your lawsuit, the court may award you with compensation, legal fees, and/or other remedies stipulated in your contract. It is important to note that suing your condo association can be expensive and time consuming and is not the best option for every situation. Before filing a lawsuit, consider seeking other options such as mediation.
