Arlington Condominium Conversions Attorneys 

We Also Serve Developers in Washington, D.C. & the Surrounding Areas 

As condominium living continues to grow in popularity, especially in urban areas, developers across Arlington and Washington, D.C. are searching for creative ways to turn existing properties into condominiums. However, converting an existing building into a condominium isn’t that simple. Condominium projects require exceptional organization, and developers must navigate complex and often confusing laws and regulations. 

For example, D.C. is unique because of a law known as the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act. This act imposes strict requirements on owners of existing buildings who want to convert their properties into condominiums. Our firm possess more than a decade of experience, and we have represented developers throughout the city to ensure compliance with D.C.’s complex laws relating to the registration and governance of condominiums.

Why Are Condominium Laws Different Than Other Types of Real Estate? 

The laws that govern houses do not always apply to condominiums, as these offer a different living environment. In a condo, there are issues of ownership, access, and community property. The inside of the condo is under private ownership, but the outside belongs to those who own the building. 

Then, too, there is private space, such as the inside of the condo and a balcony or patio. However, the hallways, stairs, elevators, as well as the pool, clubhouse, and gym, are community property and are accessible to all who live there.

Overseeing the operation of a condo complex is a homeowners’ association, governed by a board. This board makes the rules over parking spaces, noise, and schedule of times to make use of shared areas.

All of these differences make it essential to follow the laws closely when it comes to condominium conversions.
