Most condo owners think they can just sue their association. Not so fast. Florida law actually starts from a different assumption, that owners are already at a disadvantage. In this episode of Condo Craze and HOAs, attorney Eric Glazer and co-host Karen Curtis Florida Statute 718.1255, why disputes are pushed away from court, and what that means for you before a case even begins. If you live in a condominium or serve on a board, understanding how disputes are supposed to start is critical. Getting it wrong can cost you time, money, and leverage before your case even begins. Next episode, we break down exactly where different types of condo disputes must start, arbitration, mediation, or court.

Many homeowners and HOA board members assume that when a dispute arises, the next step is simple… file a lawsuit. But in Florida, that assumption can cost you thousands of dollars. Under Florida Statute 720.311, most disputes in homeowners associations must go through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) before a lawsuit can even begin. That usually means pre-suit mediation, where both sides attempt to resolve the issue before stepping into a courtroom. If that step is skipped, a case can be delayed, dismissed, or become dramatically more expensive than necessary. In this episode of Condo Craze and HOAs, attorney Eric Glazer breaks down how the law actually works and explains: • When HOA disputes require mediation first • When disputes must go to arbitration instead • When you can go straight to court • Why the Florida Legislature created this system • The costly mistake homeowners and boards make when they skip the required process Understanding these rules can save homeowners and associations thousands of dollars in legal fees and prevent disputes from spiraling into unnecessary litigation. If you live in an HOA or serve on a board, this is one of the most important legal procedures to understand before taking action. ⸻ Watch Condo Craze and HOAs live every Sunday at 11 AM on YouTube.

Something major just changed in the mortgage industry… and most condo owners don’t even know it yet.

Florida lawmakers are considering HB 657, a bill that would create a formal process allowing homeowners to terminate their HOA. At first glance, that might sound like a dream for frustrated homeowners. But what happens to private roads, stormwater systems, insurance, and shared amenities once an HOA disappears?

For decades, Florida required mediation before most HOA disputes went to court. It was designed to reduce lawsuits and control legal costs for homeowners. HB 657 could change that.

What if Tallahassee just told your condo or HOA board…you’re no longer allowed to self-manage? Florida's HB 465 and SB 822 could require associations with $500,000+ in annual revenue to hire a licensed community association management firm. No more “we’ve got this.” MANDATORY professional management. Is this smart oversight after years of new regulations…or government overreach?

Florida’s condo laws are changing, and House Bill 913 is at the center of it all. In this first episode of our three-part series, Eric and Karen break down what these new rules mean for condo owners and associations: 🔹 Insurance Changes – Condo associations must comply with inspection requirements, or owners may lose coverage from Citizens Insurance. 🔹 Special Assessments & Loans – Boards can now approve special assessments and take out loans for critical repairs without owner approval. 🔹 New Transparency Rules – Associations must post meeting minutes from the past seven years on their websites.

Last week, we planned to talk about important laws when selling your condominium, but breaking news caught the Florida condo world’s attention, and we had to pivot! This week, we’re back to discussing how Florida law says full disclosure is a must! From financial reports to inspection summaries, sellers are required to provide a comprehensive set of documents to potential buyers—or risk legal trouble. In the next episode of Condo Craze and HOAs, Eric, and Karen will dive into Florida Statute 718.503 and break down exactly what you need to disclose before closing the deal. Plus, many Florida condominiums missed the December 31st deadline for their Structural Integrity Reserve Study—so what happens now?

In this episode, we delve into the escalating crisis facing Florida’s condominium market. The recent @nypost article, “Inside Florida’s Brewing Condo Crisis as Property Values Drop in Once-Coveted Retirement Haven,” highlights the financial strain on condo owners due to mandatory structural repairs and soaring special assessments. Simultaneously, the @MiamiHerald has scrutinized Florida’s post-Surfside legislation, noting that while it aims to enhance building safety, it has inadvertently led to increased fees and potential foreclosures for condo owners, while benefiting developers. Join us as we unpack these developments!

For over a decade, I’ve fought to make education mandatory for condo and HOA board members. After the Surfside tragedy, Florida finally made it law. Some said it would discourage people from serving. They couldn’t have been more wrong. This week, nearly 400 board members packed our classes in West Palm Beach and Tampa—standing room only! Board members aren’t looking for the easy way out. They’re stepping up, eager to learn and make their communities better.
