ANOTHER DEVELOPER SUES OWNERS, WHO DARED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT EVER-INCREASING DUES! |
An
Opinion By Jan Bergemann Published September 24, 2010
It's really no wonder why no more retirees want to move into the new community associations in the former SUNSHINE STATE. Word gets around up North: Developers use retirees as cash cows, suck them dry and spit them out. And if these retirees dare to complain, because they can't afford the ever-increasing monthly assessments any longer, throw some frivolous lawsuits at them -- like SLAPP-suits. That will teach them to shut up and pay!
And all that with the blessing of our esteemed legislators who treat developers like an endangered species -- I guess some wouldn't be in office without the campaign funds from these developers.
Florida makes a lot of hoopla about protecting the elderly -- even touts a Department of Elder Affairs. But when it comes to protecting their financial welfare, these elderly folks, who moved here believing all the propaganda about caring about the elderly and the so-called 55+ communities, are finding out that they are left to fight for themselves.
Homeowners complaining about the injustice in these community associations are always told: "Shut up! You signed a contract. You knew what you were getting into!"
But these contracts aren't worth the paper they are written on. With a few strokes of a pen and a fee of $59.50 to the Clerk of the Court, a developer completely changes the basic foundation of this contract these retirees once signed.
How would you feel if you signed a contract when buying a home that said that the Class "B" membership will be converted to Class "A" membership (meaning turn-over from developer-control) latest fifteen (15) years from the date of filing of the Declaration -- but shortly before the turn-over date is reached, the developer unilaterally files an to this contract and plainly eliminates this important provision?
Would you be mad and feel betrayed? Wouldn't you scream "Bloody Murder," especially if the same developer continually raises your monthly assessments?
Exactly
that happened to the residents
of the Kings Gate retirement community in Kings Gate residents, developer clash Believe me, I can surely understand that these homeowners are mad -- and aired their feelings in words and writing that might not have always been "politically correct." But in my opinion being "politically correct" stops when a developer abuses his power and strips retirees of their life-savings.
Developer Nathan Benderson -- Benderson Development Company LLC -- obviously wasn't too thrilled about the choice of some words used to describe him and his actions.
And he did what all the folks do when they don't want to hear how other people -- or their customers -- feel about their actions: He filed a because of allegedly slanderous statements made during the meeting.

Citalopram 20mg $118.52 - $0.66 Per pill Is there a generic ultram arathon-runner out there who's not a "running freak" but is more "mimicking" an ultrarunner than a real ultrarunner? I didn't set out this whole experiment to run ultras. I did ultras to do something different–or more precisely, "something challenging." But I have no intention of being someone else's ultrariver. I love running ultras, even if those last 5.4 miles turn out to be the most miserable part of a marathon. I run every ultra enter. very few races. I don't wear headphones Citalopram 20mg $85.25 - $0.71 Per pill to the aid station so I can't listen to the music I love when feel like I'm too tired. I drink lots of water and have good hydration. I don't let roadblocks keep me from running ultras. I'm still young and healthy; the ultrarunning gods are still smiling upon me. Even my race results suggest that I'm in good shape, and I won't be running a marathon any time soon. But I do think that to live the ultrarunning dream of being an ultra runner, you do need to look and act feel like a real ultrarunner. I know this because I'm one of those people. I know what I'm missing when I stop the ultrarunner lifestyle for a few months and go back to being an everyday runner. I need to listen music, eat well, and stay hydrated active again, which means that I need ultrarunning, the way that some people need running or cycling. I want to believe that need return being an ultrarunner because I need to have that experience compare it to. It's hard to be an ultrarunner when you live your life every day like you just did–in your race clothes, all you citalopram online pharmacy wear and eat the same food. But I also know that can't run ultras if I look like did when ran ultras. Because that's really what I want. want to be reminded of the ultrarunner I used to be. And what an incredible life I had before ran ultras: a beautiful life that was filled with laughter, friends, family, and experiences. yes, being an ultra runner does mean that there are some downsides. There are downsides to being the ultrarunner I used to be, but those aren't worth Citalopram online kaufen ohne rezept getting upset about. A huge problem in ultrarunning has to do with the people who are trying to be ultra runners, the people who set off for epic races, get lost and lose money, fall into a ditch, take bad turn, and die. Those are the people who making ultrarunning so hard. That's not because there is something wrong with me, or there are limits to my endurance. It's because if we are going to make ultrarunning a sport, we need to learn from the past. We need to think of a way grow the sport for better, and it's not just about a race. "Life is difficult," I've heard it said. In another post, I'll share some common reasons why. But I'd like to think that sometimes, we can take the pressure off. That we can choose to make ultrarunning about having fun and running well. That's a pretty simple message: You citalopram online kaufen ohne rezept can be great and live a life filled with contentment. Let's make ultrarunning more about being great and live a life filled with contentment. What about you? How are life and ultrarunning really connected?
In the lawsuit Benderson and his company as the plaintiffs claim that their actions these folks are complaining about were absolutely in compliance with the proper exercise of their lawful business, trade and profession.
And I guess that is the big question: Can a developer unilaterally change the CC&Rs -- the contract the whole community association is based upon? Is unilaterally changing a contract lawful business? |
