Condo Q&A

Can owners take away renters right to lease parking space with condo?

I am a renter in a condominium on Ft Lauderdale Beach. My lease expires on August 1, 2015. Last year my lease included a parking space in the garage and was approved by the condo board. After my lease was approved, the board decided to pass a rule that said no future leases would be approved if they included parking in the garage. I know Florida Statutes 718.106(4); 718.303(3)-(4).) gives the tenant all owners’ rights. It seems to me the board is trying to circumvent the Statute in passing a rule that limits only owners who rent their units. Can the board take away the owners right to lease under this circumstance? Also can they impose a rule like this retroactively on an owners rights?
