SO, WHAT AM I LEAVING OUT?

Eric Glazer, Esq.
Published February 19, 2024
So when I wrote my blog last week asking people what their
problems are, I couldn’t help but think about all of the issues
that can arise in a condominium or HOA. It’s almost endless.
Here’s some issues that are routinely litigated or arbitrated:
faulty elections, failure to hold meetings, failure to post
notices, failure to pass a budget, failure to pay assessments,
failure to provide access to records, parking disputes, noise
disputes, pet restrictions, emotional support animals, water
leaks, failure to do the year-end financial statement, failure
to have or update the required website, material alteration
disputes, contract disputes, disputes with the management
company or manager and…. do we going to arbitration, mediation
or court.
In addition, as a result of the new laws the past two years, now
we also have:
A.
FAILURE TO DO THE MILESTONE INSPECTIONS;
B.
FAILURE TO MAKE THE REQUIRED REPAIRS;
C.
FAILURE TO DO THE REQUIRED RESERVE STUDIES;
D.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE RESERVE
STUDY.
And you wonder why The Florida Bar has made Condominium and
Planned Development Law an area where Florida attorneys can get
Board certified in?
There’s simply a lot to know.
The question is……….what did I leave out? Post your answers
below.
