Hurricane season is officially underway — and with it, insurance rates in Florida remain the highest in the country. In this episode, Eric and Karen revisit two programs designed to help:

Florida’s condo laws are changing, and House Bill 913 is at the center of it all. In this first episode of our three-part series, Eric and Karen break down what these new rules mean for condo owners and associations:

🔹 Insurance Changes – Condo associations must comply with inspection requirements, or owners may lose coverage from Citizens Insurance.

🔹 Special Assessments & Loans – Boards can now approve special assessments and take out loans for critical repairs without owner approval.

🔹 New Transparency Rules – Associations must post meeting minutes from the past seven years on their websites.

Last week, we planned to talk about important laws when selling your condominium, but breaking news caught the Florida condo world’s attention, and we had to pivot!

This week, we’re back to discussing how Florida law says full disclosure is a must! From financial reports to inspection summaries, sellers are required to provide a comprehensive set of documents to potential buyers—or risk legal trouble.

In the next episode of Condo Craze and HOAs, Eric, and Karen will dive into Florida Statute 718.503 and break down exactly what you need to disclose before closing the deal.

Plus, many Florida condominiums missed the December 31st deadline for their Structural Integrity Reserve Study—so what happens now?

In this episode, we delve into the escalating crisis facing Florida’s condominium market. The recent @nypost article, “Inside Florida’s Brewing Condo Crisis as Property Values Drop in Once-Coveted Retirement Haven,” highlights the financial strain on condo owners due to mandatory structural repairs and soaring special assessments.

Simultaneously, the @MiamiHerald has scrutinized Florida’s post-Surfside legislation, noting that while it aims to enhance building safety, it has inadvertently led to increased fees and potential foreclosures for condo owners, while benefiting developers.

Join us as we unpack these developments!

For over a decade, I’ve fought to make education mandatory for condo and HOA board members. After the Surfside tragedy, Florida finally made it law. Some said it would discourage people from serving. They couldn’t have been more wrong. This week, nearly 400 board members packed our classes in West Palm Beach and Tampa—standing room only! Board members aren’t looking for the easy way out. They’re stepping up, eager to learn and make their communities better.

Los Angeles’ recent tragedy highlights the importance of fire safety in residential buildings. In this episode of Condo Craze and HOAs, Eric and Karen break down Florida’s fire safety regulations for high-rise condominiums. We’ll also explain what an ELSS entails—components like smoke detection, partial sprinkler systems, and fire doors—and clarify that even condos that previously waived the fire sprinkler requirement must now comply.
