HOA disputes in Westland generally follow internal grievance procedures before moving to mediation or civil court, with condo disputes governed by MCL 559 remedies.
Most HOA and condo governing documents in Westland require owners to first pursue internal dispute resolution, such as a written complaint to the board, an ARC appeal, or a hearing before fines are levied. The Michigan Condominium Act (MCL 559.206) allows co-owners to bring a court action to enforce the act, bylaws, or master deed, and may permit recovery of attorney fees when bylaws provide. Mediation through the Washtenaw or Wayne mediation services can resolve many covenant disputes without litigation. For small-dollar disputes (under 7,000 dollars in Michigan), the 18th District Court small claims division in Westland is an option. Before litigation, review bylaws for arbitration clauses, which may be binding.
