IF THEY SOUND SCARY AND IMMENSELY EXPENSIVE, YOU ARE INTERPRETING THEM CORRECTLY. THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE HAS CHANGED CONDOMINIUM LAW FOREVER. THE COST TO STAY IN YOUR CONDO WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. BUT DON’T BLAME THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE FROM MAKING LAWS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE DECADES AGO BY PREVIOUS FLORIDA LEGISLATURES. THE TRUTH IS…..THIS IS WHAT HAD TO BE DONE. ANYTHING ELSE WOULD HAVE ALLOWED CONDOMINIUM OWNERS TO CONTINUE LIVING A LIE THAT THEIR ASSESSMENTS ARE CHEAP AND AFFORDABLE AND WOULD HAVE ALLOWED THE CAN TO BE KICKED DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN AND PUT LIVES AT RISK..

IRONICALLY, MY REQUEST FOR MANDATORY EDUCATION FOR BOARD MEMBERS WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE BILL, YET THE BILL GOES OUT OF ITS WAY TO CHARGE DIRECTORS WITH BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY FOR NOT FOLLOWING THESE NEW LAWS THAT MANY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EVEN UNDERSTAND WITHOUT LEGAL ASSISSTANCE OR EDUCATION.

I DID MY BEST TO PUT THEM IN A FORMAT THAT IS AS SIMPLE TO FOLLOW AS YOU CAN GET, BUT BELIEVE ME YOU WILL NEED TO READ THEM OVER AND OVER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LAW ACTUALLY REQUIRES.
