HOA Foreclosure Crisis Op-Ed in Sun Sentinel

Michael Mayoral Op-Ed Published in the Sun Sentinel

Perez Mayoral, P.A. is proud to share that our co-founder and shareholder, Michael P. Mayoral, was featured in the Sun Sentinel on February 19, 2026, in an opinion piece titled “The HOA Foreclosure Crisis Florida Refuses to Address.”

In this article, Mr. Mayoral discusses the growing problem of HOA foreclosures across Florida and the devastating impact they can have on homeowners. He explains how association liens, legal fees, interest, and collection costs can quickly escalate relatively small assessment balances into significant financial burdens, placing homeowners at risk of losing their properties even when they are current on their mortgage payments. The piece highlights how many Florida residents are unaware of the extent of an association’s foreclosure powers until they are already facing legal action.

The op-ed also addresses the broader policy gap surrounding community association reform. While lawmakers continue to propose changes affecting HOAs and condominiums, Mr. Mayoral emphasizes that insufficient attention has been given to foreclosure safeguards and homeowner protections. He calls for meaningful reforms that balance the financial needs of associations with reasonable protections for homeowners facing temporary hardship, noting that without such measures, more families may continue to face preventable housing loss.
