Pre-Suit Mediation? Or Not?
Pre-Suit Mediation or Not? A homeowner asked the question on avvo.com if moving from the community would mean he no longer needed to provide his HOA with an offer of pre-suit mediation.Moving would not circumvent the pre-suit mediation requirement because the suit would, I assume, be based on acts that occurred while you were a homeowner.

I know it’s been a long time since I wrote a blog, but I have to say it’s not due to laziness, but rather success.

HOAs – Don’t Mess with the Disabled!!!
It’s that time of year when all the community association law firms start blogging about the legislative updates to the Florida Statutes that will be enacted July 1, 2014. It’s interesting to read the various blogs because they always include what the writer interprets the meaning of the new statute will be and, if you read more than one blog, you get a more than one interpretation (flag on the play — litigation imminent!).
