CONTRACT LAW seems to be the "Holy Grail" for some attorneys and judges. Every time some owner claims that things are not done the way it was stated in his original contract (CC&Rs), some attorney tells him/her to sit down and shut up: "You signed a contract..!
Check out all the legislative changes and see how the contractual rights of homeowners are trampled upon by our legislators. But who cares that people are losing their homes. So many foreclosures around -- who cares for a few more -- right?
And it seems that nobody cares that the US and the FLORIDA CONSTITUTION only allow government entities to fine its citizens. And HOAs and condos are for sure no government entities. But here in Florida THE POWERS THAT BE still allow fines levied by untrained and often incompetent people, who are allowed to function as accusers, judge, jury and executioners. (Our founding fathers would turn in their graves if they knew.) [Association Fines Are Unconstitutional ]
As of now: Abracadabra -- protection is gone, attorneys get more billing hours and dictatorial boards more power to blackmail owners -- no matter what the original contract said. This is just one example of many showing that these so-called contracts aren't worth the paper they are written on. While owners are always being told to remember the contract they signed, our legislators trample upon the contractual rights of homeowners like a bull in a china shop. No wonder that many homeowners living in mandatory homeowners' associations in Florida feel like they are being treated like Third-Class Citizens.
AND NO MORE NEW POTENTIAL VICTIMS ARE MOVING TO FLORIDA.
