Hosted
and produced by Shu Bartholomew, "On The Commons" is a weekly
radio show dedicated to discussing the many issues surrounding mandatory
homeowner associations, the fastest growing form of residential housing in the
nation.
This Week's Show Preview from Shu Bartholomew
Jan Bergemann joins us "On The Commons"
this Saturday. Jan is the founder and president of the Florida-based Cyber
Citizens for Justice. He has been heavily involved in all things related to HOAs
and Condominiums in Florida and has been active in legislative affairs in
Florida.
What happens for the homeowners? Absolutely Nothing! Nothing at all. However,
the ever-helpful attorneys, for a fee, of course, make sure that the board
members and the managers and committee members and whoever else has a position
of power has plenty of enabling legislation to back them up and allow them to do
pretty much as they please. But then the homeowners try to wrestle back some of
their rights and we see some big lawsuits.
Host Shu Bartholomew and Jan Bergemann discuss the recent events of
serious impact in Florida: The Boca View Condominiums record-inspection lawsuits
and the arrest of five board members of the Hammock Community Association, Inc.,
accused of embezzling more than $2million. But it again comes down to this: Laws
are only as good as its enforcement -- and enforcement is totally missing in
Florida, because the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile
Homes is just a joke!
