No
matter if you live in a developer-controlled homeowners' association or not,
this bill is an insult to every honest homeowner in
Florida
. We defeated the BANKERS' BAIL-OUT BILL -- let's defeat the DEVELOPER
BAIL-OUT BILL as well.
According
to the enrolled version of H 1013, the term "offsite improvement"
means:
The street, road, driveway, sidewalk, drainage, utilities, or any other
improvement or structure that is not located on or under the lot on which a
new home is constructed. In other words: All the so-called common areas.
If this bill is enacted, developers can create subpar roads and drainage
systems, charge homeowners a lot of money for those items -- and then leave
homeowners with nothing but expensive repairs. No more warranties for faulty
construction of common elements -- and that's retro-active!
If this bill is signed into law by Governor Rick Scott, anybody who still
buys into a developer-controlled community commits financial suicide!
UNITED WE STAND! We ALL have to help defeat this outrageous bill.
PLEASE WRITE AN E-MAIL TO GOVERNOR RICK SCOTT AND ASK HIM TO
PLEASE
VETO THIS BAD BILL.

Please Veto H 1013 -- Residential Construction Warranties
Dear
Governor Rick Scott,
please
VETO House Bill 1013. The outrageous language of this bill would
make buying property in a new community association a financial risk
for any potential homebuyer!
This
bill eliminates all consumer protection as we know it!
Please
protect Florida's consumers!
