Summary
In Florida, a condominium association can foreclose on a unit for unpaid assessments. They must provide a written demand for the unpaid assessments. You have the right to dispute the charge and may consult with a local attorney to better understand your rights and options. Financial mishandling within the condominium organization may warrant a lawsuit for potential fraud or mismanagement. You can sue your Condominium Owners Association (COA) without a lawyer, known as pro se representation, but it can be complex. Request a hearing to dispute the charges, gather evidence of mishandling, and consult a legal aid service if you cannot afford a lawyer. The Condominium Act grants unit owners the right to access association records. If denied, file a complaint with the Division of Florida Condominiums or a lawsuit to compel access.Full Conversation
