Most business disputes in Florida involve contracts, money, or broken promises, but some of the most damaging situations happen when a third party steps in and intentionally disrupts a deal you were about to close or a relationship you had every reason to expect would continue. That’s tortious interference, and it’s a...

A special assessment is not automatically shady. Sometimes it is the only realistic way for a condo association to pay for major repairs, insurance spikes, or a safety project that cannot wait for next year’s budget.

But Florida law does not let a board slap owners with a surprise bill however it...

In Florida, most contract lawsuits do not die because the facts are weak. They die because the filing date is late. And what makes this extra brutal is that “late” often happens even when someone genuinely thought they were being careful. They were negotiating, sending demand letters, waiting on the other side...

Florida condo owners keep hearing “SIRS” and for good reason. A Structural Integrity Reserve Study is not a vibe check for the board.

A special assessment is one of the fastest ways a community goes from “quiet” to chaos. Owners want to know why the money is needed, whether the board had the authority to approve it, and whether the amount is being split correctly. The board usually treats it like an emergency and expects...

Getting a lease application denied by your condo association is frustrating because it usually feels vague on purpose. You hear “not approved” without a clear explanation, while your mortgage, your plans, and your income depend on renting the unit.

In Florida, a condo association can restrict leasing and can require approval if...

A water or sewer leak in a condominium is rarely “just a leak.” One day it is staining or odor. Next thing you know, drywall is cut open, flooring is destroyed, cabinets swell, and the unit is partially uninhabitable. That is when the association starts pointing at insurance and the owner is...
