Governing your condo association or HOA


Question:

What responsibility or action should our association's management company take when shareholder's continuing complaints to ENFORCE GOVERNING RULES - BYLAWS - RULES & REGULATIONS - FLORIDA STATUES are I. G. N. O. R. E. D and complaints fall on deaf ears. This includes contacting the representing attorney for the association who replies as:

Counsel advises: "THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE
FOLLOWING ALL GOVERNING
RULES"

Our Building Property Manager replied to my last complaint as.:

"the management company: "takes orders/directions from the BOARD OF DIRECTORS".

What is the protocol the our management company to do when they have BREACHED the CONTRACT with my Association as to carry our and enforce ALL ASSOCIATION'S LAWs & RULES when've their excuse is : " THE BOARD DID NOT DIRECT ME TO DO SO???

The Board of Directors DO NOT FOLLOW THE RULES THEMSELVES!!

This is for the representing counsel of our association - as to the rules that are unattended - not enforced - carried out - not abided- ignored- broken -

.. Missing unit numbers as required in the concrete slabs to identify ASSIGNED/RESERVED PARKING (blank slabs)

.. ASSIGNED parking not observed as to Declaration Exhibit "A" page 296 (Vice President belongs in spot 401 and picked prime location right in front of our building - the V.P. Of fiduciary responsibility entrusted to enforce laws - not break them)

.. NO early move-in to unit prior to owner living in unit for 12 months (105-206-208-209-304-506-601-602-604-701 -all early move in and some not screened/background check)

.. ALL cars to display Decal to be placed in car windshield (to signify passenger has been approved to reside in community - and allow residence to feel some sort of security)

..HANDICAP PARKING (3 spaces) (70 units plus need for visitors)

INSTRUCTIONS POSTED to all residents by Board of Directors:
"These spaces are designated for TEMPORARY use for the handicap for unloading, drop off, and for handicap visitors. these areas ARE NOT TO. BE CONSIDERED AS PERMANENT PARKING AREAS, and NOT TO BE USED FOR OVERNIGHT PARKING".

The Board and Management have breached this utmost important rule and have allowed the same two cars to use the same two handicap spots 24/7 INCLUDING OVERNIGHT as if, these two spaces were their own private space!

..Board of Directors have allowed ONE investor to purchase SIX (6) units all in our one building and turned our association into a FIFTY (50) PERCENT RATIO of RENTALS

Board of Directors purchased unit 308 - and rented out (renter had a dog - against rules (note: thus dog was not a need for therapy/service- emotional needs )

Board of Directors allowed person to move into unit 508 emotional needs

Board of Directors allowed owner of unit 208 to sell to investor - (the same investor as owning the other 6 units) owner received a buy out price in the amount of $115,00 but,,,,,,,,, thus owner REMAINED IN UNIT 208 for ANOTHER 11 months - the board worked it out to have this owner PAY THE MONTHLY MAINTENANCE FEES directly to the management company and listed the owner's name in the lobby directory as OWNER to hide and cover up to shareholders the Board of Director's
SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT tactics

..i often think of how this attorney who writes: " THE BOD IS Following ALL ASSOCIATION'S RULES ", how she could possibly defend these out right BREACHES to the Association, the shareholders and have defrauded their duty and responsibility as to their fiduciary oath taken.

Question: What is the responsibility of our management company who has a CONTRACT with the Association (the shareholders are the Association) that works for a Board of Directors who do not follow our laws themselves - and who do not dictate to management to ENFORCE THE ASSOCIATION'S RULES and LAWS OF THE STATE?

Thank you for your response, much appreciated.
