What if an owner fails to maintain a unit in accordance with the condo rules?

If an owner of a condo unit in Nebraska fails to maintain the unit in accordance with the applicable condo rules, they can be held responsible for any damages that may result. Depending on the specific rules and regulations of the condominium, the association or homeowners’ association may have the right to impose fines or penalties on the owner. In some cases, these fines can include a monetary payment, a lien or an eviction order. If the owner refuses to take corrective action and maintain the unit in accordance with the condo rules, the board may seek legal action and file a lawsuit against the owner. The lawsuit could request injunctive relief, meaning the court could order the owner to take the necessary steps to meet the condo rules. If the owner fails to comply, the board may be awarded monetary damages to cover any costs associated with the corrective action, such as repairs or landscaping. In the most extreme cases, the board may take back ownership of the unit and seek to evict the owner. If the board is successful, the owner will no longer have any legal rights to the property. This action is typically taken only after all other attempts to work with the owner and bring their unit into compliance with the condo rules have been unsuccessful.
