Community Association Issues…Where Did Everything Go?
Although this article may seem to be Florida specific it relates to all community associations throughout the nation.
On July 1, 2014 in Florida a new law goes into to effect that was legislated under HB 807 to section 718.111(12) of the condominium act. This new law obligates “outgoing board members to return all official records … to the incoming board.” Now as benign as this may seem it speaks to a greater problem and that issue is: Where are all the association’s records? Why did the legislature have to go out of its way to create a specific law to obligate a proper transition from one board to the other? There must be a problem here.
