In this article, you will learn how to handle a situation where one unit owner makes life unbearable for the other owners in the building. One of the unit owners disturbs everyone around them with their behavior. The other residents constantly face problems: whether it\u2019s banging on radiators every night, smashing furniture on the floor, throwing items out of windows, polluting common areas, shouting vulgarities at neighbors, ringing doorbells late at night, or making unauthorized alterations to shared parts of the building. Everyone in the building has had enough. What can be done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The home owners' association (HOA) may intervene in extreme cases. The first step is for the HOA to send the neighbor in question a written warning<\/strong>. This warning must include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n After sending the warning, it is necessary to assess whether the owner in question has reformed or not. If not, an extraordinary meeting of the HOA must be convened. At this meeting, the owners will vote<\/strong> on whether the HOA should submit a proposal to the court for the forced sale of the disturbing owner\u2019s unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Filing the proposal requires the approval of a majority of all unit owners<\/strong>. The vote of the disturbing owner does not count. If the owners decide in favor of the lawsuit<\/strong>, the HOA will submit to the court a motion for the sale of the disturbing owner\u2019s unit<\/strong> on the grounds that this neighbor violates their obligations in a way that substantially restricts or prevents the exercise of rights by the other unit owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although this is an exceptional measure, especially in cases of long-term and severe harassment, the court may grant such a proposal and order that the apartment of the disturbing neighbour shall be sold. Whether the neighbour agrees or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a neighbor in your building has been repeatedly disturbing the peace and seriously harassing other residents, we recommend consulting a lawyer to discuss possible next steps.
