DeBlasio Law Group LLC partner, Antonio DeBlasio is pleased to announce the firm obtained a $250,000 settlement for a property owner against his Condominium Association and several of its board members.
The firm filed a lawsuit against the association and its board members for illegally enacting condominium rules and regulations without providing proper notice to the homeowners in advance, as required by the association’s declarations and Illinois law. As part of the lawsuit, the firm obtained summary judgment in favor of our client against the Condominium Association for failing to produce records of the Condominium Association in violation of the Illinois Condominium Property Act. The lawsuit also alleged that the Association enacted and attempted to enforce illegal and unreasonable leasing rules, fabricated evidence against our client and assessed multiple, grossly excessive fines of $500 per month for alleged continuing violations of the leasing rules. The lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court asserted claims for failure to examine records, breach of contract (e.g., the Association’s Declarations), and breach of fiduciary duties.
