Don’t forget your Declaration: Appeals Court confirms necessity of the Declaration and Covenants in collection actions (IL)

The First District Appellate Court confirmed that Associations must be careful to enter their Declaration and Covenants regarding Assessment default into the record in a lawsuit to collect Assessments. In Blackstone Condominium Association v. Speights-Carnegie, (Feb. 3, 2017), the Appellate Court reviewed a judgment for unpaid Assessments where an Association sought to recover from an Owner based on a breach of contract theory.
