Read More »A: No, the Condominium Act and the Homeowners Association (HOA) Act provide that every owner has the right to be a candidate for the board if they otherwise meet the qualifications listed in the statutes. The acts require that the candidates be at least 18 years old, not be a convicted felon (unless their civil rights have been completely restored for at least five years), not be delinquent in the payment of any monetary amounts owed to the association and not be under suspension by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The Division of Condominiums has issued several declaratory statements and rulings that hold that residency requirements are not enforceable. While such rulings are not strictly applicable to HOAs in my opinion residency requirements are not enforceable in HOA’s either. Q: My condominium association board has adopted the budget for 2020. It includes a large increase in the quarterly assessments because the clubhouse is going to be renovated this year. I was told the board cannot adopt a budget that increases the assessment more than 15 percent from the prior year. In this case, due to the project the increase is well over 15 percent. Can the board adopt this budget without the approval of the owners? K.S., Naples A: Yes, unless your association’s governing documents limit the board’s authority to increase the budget. What I think you are referring to is Section 718.112(2)(e)2.a., Florida Statutes which provides, “If a board adopts in any fiscal year an annual budget which requires assessments against unit owners which exceed 115 percent of assessments for the preceding fiscal year, the board shall conduct a special meeting of the unit owners to consider a substitute budget if the board receives, within 21 days after adoption of the annual budget, a written request for a special meeting from at least 10 percent of all voting interests. The special meeting shall be conducted within 60 days after adoption of the annual budget.” The statute also provides, “Any determination of whether assessments exceed 115 percent of assessments for the prior fiscal year shall exclude any authorized provision for reasonable reserves for repair or replacement of the condominium property, anticipated expenses of the association which the board does not expect to be incurred on a regular or annual basis, or assessments for betterments to the condominium property.” So, in your case the cost of the clubhouse renovation project would be excluded from the calculation because it is not an expense the board would expect to be incurred on a regular or annual basis and the assessment is for a betterment to the condominium property.

Read More »Q: I think our association election was flawed and improperly conducted. How can I challenge the election results? J.Z., Estero A: In order to challenge the election results you must file a petition for arbitration with the Division of Condominiums within 60 days of the election. However, before filing the petition you must send a notice to the association demanding that the election be done over and provide the association an opportunity to do so. Further, you must indicate in the letter that if the association does not comply, you intend to file for arbitration. Note that the Division of Condominiums also has jurisdiction over HOAs for election disputes so in an HOA you must follow the same protocol. Attorney Richard D.
