Please amend Homeowners' Association BILL SB 2984 and add Ombudsman's Office!

Dear Senator ....................... ,

The bill cited above has serious flaws.  But those flaws could be corrected easily by adding an Ombudsman's Office (like proposed in Condo Bill SB 2498) and by removing the Alternative Dispute Resolution, which is detrimental to owners on limited incomes.

  • Adding the words flag pole/bracket to paragraph FS 720.304(2) would definitely be of great benefit.  How can an owner respectfully fly six flags on one day without use of flag pole/bracket?
  • Charging 50 cents per page for copies of documents is definitely outrageous! See:   FS 720.303(5)(c).
The proposed amendments to this bill are necessary to protect the welfare of about 4 million Florida citizens living in these associations.  We consumers definitely need these legislative changes.  Enough IS Enough!

Please do not allow SB 2984 to stand as it is now filed.  It could create another horrible headline like: "Florida Bill Reportedly Creates 'Christmas For Lawyers' At The Expense Of The Elderly And Minorities!"

Do YOU want the added challenge of defending your position on these issues in your district during the upcoming election campaign -- if nothing good happens, again?
MORE MISERY BY ASSOCIATION?   OR    PARADISE FOR RETIREES?

Please contact us if you have questions or would like further information.
