WISHING YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

The years roll around so quickly.  Just know, from the bottom of my heart, that it is truly an honor to share my thoughts and opinions about the law with each of you every Monday. Jan, Raphael and I write 50 columns a year.  Believe me, that’s a lot of writing to do.  As a…

SO HOW MUCH CAN THE ASSOCIATION CHARGE AT CLOSING?

I received a great e-mail from a fan of this blog this week: Hi, Eric: I listen to your radio show almost every Sunday and really enjoy it. Today I read your blog about how hard it is to get board members and I couldn’t agree more. I was thinking the same thing. Why would…

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH

It has always been difficult to get volunteers to be on the Board of Directors. Even when times are good and the building has made repairs and has some money in the bank, you can never count on owners to volunteer their time for a position where on their best day they will be second…

EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES

I have heard lots of excuses over the years about so many different things. Here’s a few that simply don’t work: My assessments should be less — I don’t use the elevator I have heard this from lots of people who live on the first floor. It doesn’t work. Regardless of whether you use the…

THANKSGIVING: SO WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?

This might be tough for many of you. Food prices are high. Gasoline prices are high. Interest rates have stymied the real estate market. Your paycheck is buying less and less. COVID is somehow still hanging around as well. Yes, there are certainly things to be grumpy about.

SO WHERE WILL PRICES GO?

I think last night’s 60 Minutes episode made it clear that for some, living in their condominium unit may simply become unaffordable.  The question is……which condos will suffer the most and which other forms of housing are most likely to retain their values and even go up. Everyone is freaking out that all condominium living…

DEVELOPERS ARE ON THE PROWL

I’m already hearing stories of developers making low ball offers to owners in high rise condominium buildings, offering to buy units at bargain prices. Here’s why…..  Developers knows that in building of 25 years or more on the coast or 30 years or more inland, owners are facing massive upcoming expenses. These include but are not…

WHY THE DIFFERENCES?

At a time when it would make sense for the condo and HOA laws to become easier to learn, they are becoming harder.  Much has to do with why in the world are there such differences between the condo and HOA statutes?  It’s actually ridiculous.  For example: In order to get access to the official…

HAVEN’T WE BUILT ENOUGH?

This is definitely not the same Florida that it was even when I moved here in 1989. And it really isn’t the same Florida that that I remember as a kid coming down to visit my sister in the 70s. The amount of building of homes and businesses since then is like no other place…

CAN YOUR ASSOCIATION PROHIBIT OR LIMIT RENTING? PART TWO

So last week we spoke about how a condominium may pass amendments to the declaration which would in effect limit or prevent leasing, but said amendment would not apply to those who did not vote in favor of the amendment. For a long time, Florida HOAs did not have language in the HOA statute which…
