Condominium Information And Homeowners Dispute Resolution

In general, condominium conversion will result in a significant increase in property value. Currently in San Francisco, two-unit buildings that meet certain owner-occupancy and other eligibility requirements may easily be converted to condominiums.

If you own or plan to purchase a unit in a 2-unit building and would like to convert it to condominiums, our HOA litigation attorney team can help you determine the building eligibility and assist you with the conversion process. This determination involves more than a specific knowledge of the rules related to subdivisions. Instead, a full knowledge of landlord-tenant laws is essential. Making certain decisions with respect to tenants, such as pursuing certain evictions or negotiating certain buy-out agreements, could render a building ineligible for condominium conversion.
