Metro Districts

Altitude Community Law has been chosen by over 50 metro districts to provide our expert covenant enforcement and debt recovery services to their communities.  As many of the legal issues and practices of associations overlap with metro districts, we will apply the same expertise that we apply with associations to your metro district.  We make every effort to understand your issues and constraints and will alert you when we see an opportunity or potential problem that is beyond the metro district’s immediate need, while keeping your budget in mind.

Covenant Enforcement

We’ve handled a wide variety of covenant enforcement issues and achieved many successes for our association and metro district clients. From painting and landscaping, to pets and parking, we have experience with virtually every imaginable covenant violation. While our goal is to resolve disputes outside of court, when litigation is necessary, we’re strong advocates for associations and metro districts. Not only do we have years of courtroom experience, but we also have years of industry experience–insight that enables us to utilize creative solutions, as well as anticipate the challenges of a covenant violation lawsuit.

The covenant enforcement process begins by ensuring the district has put its best foot forward in pursuing a covenant violation with proper notices and has provided opportunities to discuss the matter with the violator. If the notices are compliant with the law as well as in line the district’s goals, our office will send out a demand letter informing the owner that they must bring their property into compliance or face legal action. If the violation is not cured our office will, recommend filing a lawsuit. From there our office will work with the board to collect and produce evidence, attend mediation to attempt to bring the matter to a resolution, and if all else fails bring the matter to trial to get relief for the district. For difficult unit owners our office will help navigate the district though post trial relief as well.

Debt Recovery

Financial well-being hinges on timely collection of district fees and other balances. In addition to traditional collections methods such as demand letters, liens, and personal lawsuits, we’ve developed successful alternatives to use when traditional methods fail, including the use of receiverships and foreclosures. In the last two years we’ve collected over $10 million in delinquent balances and fees for our clients. No other firm can claim this degree of success.

Every collection matter in our office is handled by an attorney, not the paralegal-driven model that many law firms use. This difference provides for better representation, higher quality work and better results for our clients.

We are also the first firm to provide clients with online status reports of their covenant enforcement, collection, and foreclosure accounts. The information is real-time account history accessed through a secure online system.
