    The condo owners in all of these situations should start class action lawsuits against the HOAs for failure to to maintain the building.

      Yes, you’re right. They should do that. And then the HOA can show how each one of them voted when the budget was being discussed and when the HOA board was being elected.
      Some people think low charges are a great thing even when they can see the complex deteriorating

    • @AFAskygoddess
      @AFAskygoddess 2 місяці тому +17

      You don't understand how HOAs work here. Every condo unit owner is responsible for participating in the maintenance of the building. An HOA is a nonprofit corporation whose officers are unpaid homeowner volunteers. Unless it can be proved the HOA board illegally mismanaged funds, there is no class action lawsuit. Incompetence isn't illegal. More owners should have regularly attended meetings to oversee board actions.

    • @Galworld761
      @Galworld761 2 місяці тому +11

      If they voted against an assessment for a repair- the lawsuit is void. Maintenance is maintenance: grass cutting, trash pool… capital improvements needed extra money and many residents voted against. Also the HOA are residents and condo owners.

    People are treating condos and apts like cars- they just keep living in them without doing the proper routine maintenance that is needed to keep it running strong. Your car can only go so long without an oil change before the engine seizes.

      The same for apartments and town houses. Many times you cannot do the repairs unless the building is empty. In the case of some apartments and condos some people stay for decades and that means adequate repairs cannot be made for decades

The new law does not apply to HOA’s.

    Condo owners are a collective of owners of the property. Moving out is leaving their responsibilities to another. These are lessons they deserve to be responsible to know. Neglecting your responsibilities will cost you. They should have kept up the maintenance of their property.

    This is a long time coming, the residents knew they were eventually going to leave why wait till the last minute? So what happened when they are property owners?

    Condominiums are NOT HOA's!!! Condominium associations are governed by different laws in Florida because they are vastly different from homeowner associations. Referring to condominium associations as HOA's is the first clue that people don't know what they're talking about.

    This is a classic case of deferred maintenance over the years. People (owners) who never wanted their condo fees increased to fund reserves as a lot of the arguments made is that they won't be there in 20 years so why pay. It is a shame they are in this situations. I've been on boards in Miami beach where most owners were investors who did not want to pay reserve as they made more money the less they paid. I just sold and left. Now owners are blaming the HOA but in reality they are the culprit.

    For decades condo associations couldn’t get owners to vote for money to do inspections and repairs. For decades no one wanted to pay….now the bill is really coming due. The new law in Florida has been the law for decades every where else. Cheap condo fees for decades means the building will fall down from lack of maintenance. Like a statewide game of hot potato…sell before the collapse….leave the next buyer with the bag. Someone was going to get stuck…now we see it.

    Is a rather odd thing to treat Florida real estate as having so awesome a value. So much of the Florida population is transient/transitory with even be worse so many owners of property living out of State so this is a policy issue that is very much in need of a State of Florida response as the worst possible outcome is suddenly *"everyone loses/no one wins"* in what is of course a massive down market...hardly the only one in the USA with this problem but yes *"this problem."* The *GREAT* news is that new builds are being had and this includes for actual Homes as well. I still look at a Home in Florida for $40,000 US Dollars as about right actually so some possibly an enormity might need to understand that once you start building on a property you're actually driving the value of that property *DOWN* not up. Yes once the appropriate public services become available that can change. That doesn't mean this will happen tho. "Build something there and suddenly everything becomes worthless" is pretty normative in US History actually. I was just reading up on Newburgh, New York of Orange County Choppers fame...once ine of the most beautiful places outside of New York City then completely crashed and burned...now seeing a dramatic revival tho on account of people having a passion for, well...living somewhere that truly is beautiful actually. Hopefully the next chapter in all of this is that! This much supply of housing in all of the USA and no one living in any of this is not new to me as a New Yorker anyways😊

    Very odd situation. So 15 buildings were condemned when you were planning to move in two months ago and you (lady with pony tail and grey t-shirt) didn't think there was concern but still moved in? Anywhere near the water is an issue; and the majority of problems for same complex for many years. Seems also, notices from last year that buildings will be condemned, so people actually did have time to move and get their deposits back from the "condo". Where are the HOA fees to keep that place maintained? Hope they all found somewhere else to reside.
