- Q. Can I get compensation for a roof repair before a new HOA took over in Florida?
- A: The management company has no authority to make decisions on behalf of the board of directors. These issues are usually addressed by the board of directors on the advice of their attorneys. It may be a construction defect company is preparing to sue the developer for construction defects if the statute of limitations has not expired. You will need to take your repair bills and your association documents to an experienced community association lawyer to see if you have a claim for reimbursement.
- Q. Can a private condo refuse emotional support animal documentation under FHA?
- A: The Fair Housing Act applies to condominiums, homeowner associations, cooperatives and other types of private corporations furnishing housing. Just be sure your ESA letter is from a mental health provider that has treated you and not obtained from one of those internet sites that will provide an ESA letter for a small fee. While I don't know if it has ever been used, the Florida law regarding those letters provides for criminal penalties.
- Q. How can I nullify a warranty deed transfer and deed back to the original owner?
- A: You just need to execute and record a new deed with the names in reverse -- from you to your mother.
