Can my HOA sue me for violating the community’s rules? – Perez Mayoral

In Florida, an association can take legal action against a homeowner for violating community rules, but the type of legal action depends on the kind of association. For an HOA under Florida statute 720, legal action usually starts with a demand for mediation. If it’s a condominium association, some disputes must go through arbitration with the DBPR. Other disputes may proceed directly to litigation in county or state court. It’s crucial to pay attention to deadlines and take any mediation or arbitration notices seriously. If you’re facing such a dispute, consulting a qualified HOA attorney is highly recommended. Please call us if you have any question.
