Reforms are needed

Just about everyone is fed up with the unequal protections offered to condo, HOA and co-op residents, says Rep. Julio Robaina, R-Miami, who led the way for condo reforms last year.

For instance, condo and co-op owners can file complaints with the state. But because those living in HOAs are not regulated by the state, "they are the forgotten ones when it comes to the law," Robaina said.

The law also allows the state to file a subpoena when a condo owner is denied the right to review association documents. Not so for the others.
