GOVERNOR BUSH SIGNS REPRESENTATIVE

JULIO ROBAINA’S

CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION BILL

 

TALLAHASSEE- Governor Jeb Bush today signed into law a bill regarding condominium associations, sponsored in the House by Representative Julio Robaina (R-Miami).

 

“There should not be a chasm between condominium owners and their respective associations,” said Representative Robaina, Chair of the House Select Committee on Condominium Association Governance.  “This legislation addresses that issue and many more that will alleviate many of the unit owners concerns.  It opens the lines of communication and allows for discussion and resolution of differences.  This legislation speaks to the concerns I have heard from condominium residents and applies the suggestions that my fellow committee members and I have made to address these issues.”

 

The legislation presented in the House by Representative Robaina and merged with legislation sponsored in the Senate by Senator Walter “Skip” Campbell (D-Tamarac):

 

  • Creates the Office of the Condominium Ombudsman to be located in the Division of Land Sales, Condominiums, and Mobile Homes for administrative purposes;
  • Creates a seven member Advisory Council on Condominiums to assist in making recommendations for improving the relationship between unit owners and their association.
  • Implements the Frequently Asked Questions and Answers document when purchasing a condo unit (Buyer Beware)
  • Implements grandfathered clauses for rental rights
