Time to Recall Our HOA? Let’s Talk About Due Process and Your Rights
Hey neighbors! It’s time we have a chat about some eyebrow-raising practices happening right here in Lake Griffin Estates. Our HOA board, alongside Beacon Management, seems to be playing fast and loose with the rules, and it’s affecting us all.
Legal Fees Without Legal Process?
First things first: Did you know that our HOA has been charging homeowners legal fees without following due process? That’s right! Many of us have been blindsided with fees that, according to Florida Statute 720, shouldn’t even exist without proper legal proceedings. So, what gives?
Florida Statute 720: Know Your Rights
Florida Statute 720 is there to protect us, the homeowners, ensuring we have the right to a hearing with a 14-day notice. But guess what? Our HOA claims they don’t provide hearings and slap on legal fees without any legal process. Why ignore the law and deny us our rights?
Complicit or Ignorant?
Is the management company, Beacon Management, and our HOA board ignorant of these statutes, or are they complicit in allowing a lawyer to profit from these fees? It’s an unsettling thought, but it’s something we can’t ignore. Are there trickle-down profits involved, or is it just mismanagement?
What Can We Do?
It’s time to demand more from our HOA and management company. They need to align with the law and respect our rights. Remember, you don’t have to pay legal fees if you haven’t had due process. So, what can you do?
- Attend the next HOA meeting via Zoom and voice your concerns.
- Don’t pay any legal fees without due process.
- Question the HOA and management company about their practices.
Conclusion: Time for Change?
We deserve transparency and accountability from those managing our community. Is it time to recall our HOA board and demand better? Let’s band together and push for change. What are your thoughts on this? Let’s keep the conversation going and make our voices heard!
See you at the next meeting!
