Core Mediation can help settle money and property disputes.
Small claims courts often deal with disputes on breaches of contract, debt collection, loan repayment, small money disputes, and property damage. All of these issues can be resolved through the use of core mediation instead of traditional court litigation.
Sometimes property disputes can only be resolved through the law if neighbors cannot or will not be open to maintaining their property in order to uphold public safety and health laws. Neighborhood disputes can be settled through core mediation and often deal with the physical appearance of the property, usually negligence or abandonment, and health or building code violations. When it comes to neighbors and their neighborhoods, sometimes the homeowner’s association (HOA) needs to step in and help resolve the dispute. Unfortunately, there are situations where a homeowner’s association will need help to resolve disputes dealing with property such as visual nuisances (overgrown and overhanging trees/lawns that might hinder another homeowner’s property) and other property maintenance issues that affect surrounding neighbors. If a neighbor is in violation of the homeowner’s association rules and regulations, then core mediation could be an effective way to problem solve and create a lasting resolution that neighbors and the homeowner’s association can agree upon.
