By Stark & Stark

Shareholders and Co-Chairs of Stark & Stark's Community Association Group, David J. Byrne and A. Christopher Florio, presented materials on a wide variety of legal issues pertaining to community association management. Mr. Byrne and Mr. Florio discussed an association's creation and enforcement of leasing-related, pet-related and smoking-related covenants and rules. They covered a board's fiduciary duties in relation to those covenants and rules, along with the business judgment rules and alternative dispute resolution (ADR). The relevance of the United States Fair Housing Act was also addressed. Mr. Florio and Mr. Byrne spoke with attendees about strategies and legal issues associated with dangerous members and residents, and the ever increasing number of conflicts within a community.
