HB 657 Will Hit HOA Owners Where It Hurts

HB 657 Will Hit HOA Owners Where It Hurts

HB 657 proposes eliminating structured pre-suit mediation for HOA disputes and pushing owners straight into court.

That may sound procedural. It’s not. For decades, mediation has helped reduce lawsuits, legal fees, and financial exposure for homeowners. 

HB 657 changes that framework.

*If this bill passes, litigation becomes the starting point, not the last resort.

*Who pays when disputes go straight to court?

*Florida homeowners.

Read the full breakdown and decide for yourself.

If you believe HB 657 moves Florida in the wrong direction and could increase legal costs for homeowners, now is the time to speak up.

Legislators need to hear directly from the people who would be affected.

You can contact Representative Juan Porras here:

https://www.flhouse.gov/Sections/Representatives/contactmember.aspx?MemberId=4898

Be respectful. Be clear. Ask how eliminating structured mediation will protect homeowners from higher legal fees and increased litigation.

If you’re concerned about your pocketbook, don’t assume someone else will speak for you.

    4 “Tricks” to a Healthier Lake! Regularly test the water quality! by Allstate Resource Management

    4 “Tricks” to a Healthier Lake! Regularly test the water quality! by Allstate Resource Management

    The first step in keeping your lake healthy is regularly testing the water quality. Ensure that your lake management company is testing the water before treatments.

    Algae is a common problem in Florida lakes, but there are methods you can use to control it. Partnering with a professional lake company is key! A lake maintenance company can put together a comprehensive plan designed specifically for your lake.
    Aeration is essential for maintaining healthy oxygen levels in your lake. Use a lake aerator to keep the water moving and to promote healthy oxygen levels.
    Invasive plant species, such as cattails or water hyacinths, can quickly take over your lake and create an unhealthy environment for aquatic life. Let our lake specialists work with your HOA to help control and eradicate invasive plants.
