Protect Your Right To Quiet Enjoyment Of Your Co-Op Share Or Condominium Unit

Every co-op shareholder and condominium unit owner has the right to quiet enjoyment of their residential property—the right to occupy and use your home without unreasonable interference from the building corporation, board, management, neighbors, or other residents. This is a fundamental property right that protects you from harassment, intrusion, nuisance conditions, and conduct that substantially interferes with your use and enjoyment of your own home. When the building corporation or board breaches this covenant through failure to enforce building rules against disruptive neighbors, harassment of residents, retaliatory conduct, interference with services or amenities, or creation of intolerable living conditions, you have legal remedies. Sverd Law Firm has successfully represented residents against breaches of the covenant of quiet enjoyment in co-ops and condominiums.

Common Breaches Of Quiet Enjoyment In Residential Buildings

Breaches of quiet enjoyment in multi-unit buildings take many forms. A neighbor may create excessive noise, music, or disturbance that interferes with your sleep and daily life, and the building management refuses to enforce building rules against them. The board may selectively enforce house rules, allowing certain residents to violate noise restrictions or occupancy rules while enforcing them strictly against others. A neighbor may engage in harassing or threatening behavior toward you or your family. The building corporation may fail to maintain essential services or amenities, depriving you of facilities you paid for. The board may engage in retaliatory conduct against you for complaining about violations, asserting your rights, or requesting enforcement of building rules. Building management may repeatedly enter your unit without adequate notice or proper authorization. The building may allow environmental conditions—mold, odors, pest infestations, water intrusion—to persist and affect your unit. Each of these actions violates your right to peaceful occupation and enjoyment of your home.
