Selective enforcement is one of the most common defenses owners raise, and one of the most commonly botched. The concept is simple: an association should not enforce a restriction against one owner while knowingly tolerating the same violation by others who are similarly situated.

In business litigation, the phrase “breach of contract” is not the end of the analysis. The real question is what kind of breach it was. Under Florida law, a material breach can excuse the other side from further performance and justify termination. A minor breach usually does not excuse performance, and it...

Most mold disputes in Florida condos and HOA communities follow the same pattern: water gets in, the association says it will handle it, weeks turn into months, and the owner is stuck with odor, visible growth, damaged finishes, and sometimes serious health symptoms.
