Condo Q&A

Florida question on grandfathered lot

Written by CondoAssociation.com | Tue, Nov 3, 2015 @ 07:25 PM

We are a condo Association of manufactured homes.

The previous Board was not consistent in following the rules as to easements between homes. We have one member who has lived at her property for approximately 25 years and at the time she bought it, landscaping and a dock were encroaching on the next property.

The property next door has recently reinstalled a new home on a lot which has been empty for 20 years, As a new Board we consider the older tenant to be grandfathered at this time, up to and until the property is sold, then a new member must restore the 10" easement on land and water. Are we wrong in this?
