Ok - so, I owed $450 HOA dues per month from January 2021 - April 31 2001, plus special assessment of $500 month during that same time period I tried to pay $2100 multiple times in late April (no notice given by HOA of delinquency due to they stopped sending statements as of Jan 31, 2021)….I...

A HOA does not have to send you statements. You know you have a duty to pay them and the law requires you to pay them whether you get a statement or not. It may be the HOA no longer accepts Zelle (which is a bad idea for an association to do) or has changed management companies. If they are still... Read more »
I don’t live with her; I have my own house with my husband. Her HOA summon me at my house. Am I responsible for her property taxes? She quit claim deed to me and my sister but she still on the deed.
That will not stop the HOAs foreclosure and affects your credit because you now have a foreclosure against you in the public records. They cannot lien your home but you are jointly responsible for any unpaid assessments from a previous owner (your mom).
I have vacated and I am trying to sell but the park rejects my applicants. I've already paid one month rent on a home I don't occupy. This cannot continue, because math. How can I stop or reduce paying rent without being evicted? Is eviction inevitable and what will happen to my property?... Read more »
This is a common problem with mobile home park lot tenancies and unfortunately there are no fast fixes. Florida Statute 723.059 (1) states "The purchaser of a mobile home within a mobile home park may become a tenant of the park if such purchaser would otherwise qualify with the requirements...

I have had a line of trees at the back of my property for over 10 years now and my HOA surveyed the common area behind my house. They found out that my trees, which are now grown to be a full 7ft hedge, are off-line and encroaches into the common area. Nothing in the governing documents covers... Read more »
Probably not. This would likely be ruled as a continuing trespass if it went to court and you could be ordered to remove the trees. You are referring to adverse possession, which would require you to pay the taxes on the land as well. You need to decide if you want to spend tens of thousands of... Read more »
1981 deed restricted subdivision. Private roads dedicated to the property owners. Original 1981 HOA documents never executed, had 20 year sunset clause and contained no language for dues, assessment or lien authority. 2004 HOA created based on sunset 1981 HOA Docs. Original Developer transferred... Read more »
You only need 50% + 1 to revitalize. The process is very technical though and thus expensive. The alternative is the risk of liability.
October 1981 Subdivision recorded. Private Roads. Plat dedicates use of roads to Property Owners. No language on plat transferring Developer road interests to anyone. No HOA mentioned on record plat. Separate "Declaration of Restrictions" filed by Developer in Public Records several days... Read more »
Generally, if the roads are private roads dedicated to the owners, the owners would be equally and severally liable, meaning any judgment would be paid by the one or ones who are able to pay. A judgment would be against every owner and if not paid, a lien against each property. Your neighbors... Read more »
I received a notice of non-renewal of my lease on a private home. The lease ends in 2 months.
The next day I was diagnosed with a foot injury and told by my doctor to stay off it for 2 months.
It is going to be real difficult to move when I have this injury, do I have legal... Read more »
You might try to negotiate an extension with the landlord, but they are not required to give you another two months and the landlord can definitely charge you a higher rent.
settle. Can they charge interest since then? Willing to pay amount owed in 2009. Does SOL apply if never received bill since 2009? Company on lien went under in 2009. Never notified of new lien owner.
I agree with my colleague and would only add the statute of limitations is five years from the date of maturity. If your loan was due to mature any time before April 13, 2016 the statute of limitations would be a defense, but for any date after that the lender who owns the note now could foreclose.
I did not register wanted it as private property.can man own private property? Thanks
I'm not sure if I completely understand your question. Whether or not you record a deed or notify the property appraiser's office of your ownership does not make property "private" as in no one can trespass. If you mean you do not want anyone to know you own the property you... Read more »
It depends on the type of lien and the laws in Colorado. If it was a judgment lien, then it can attach to all of your assets.
My wife and I purchased a property via Miami Dade County's website (1) for foreclosed properties. On March 8, 2021, we were the successful bidders on 2591 SE 13th Court Homestead, FL 33035, for an amount of $65,600 + court docs fees for a total of $67,230. This was going to be the home we...

Not all of your facts posted, but it appears you have an issue with more than one HOA having a lien on the property as well as a mortgage. You need to hire an attorney as soon as possible. Once the title issues you are 'jointly and severally' liable for any past due assessments of any... Read more »
My husband and grandmother are both on a mortgage. My husband as the main borrower. There was a disagreement and my husband stated he wanted her out of the house. The verbal agreement that was met is we would just buy her out. This morning she was caught on the phone trying to have his name removed... Read more »
Who is on the deed is the question. No one can simply put anyone out. There has to be a court action to remove someone from their residence, even if they are not on the deed. You cannot have her removed and she cannot have you removed. Even if she were to file a court action it would likely not... Read more »
There is a mortgage on the property, but the mortgage company hasn't foreclosed on the property. Am I allowed to rent out the property?
Unless your HOA has rental restrictions, you can rent the property as long as you have title to it. The mortgage company may or may not serve you with a foreclosure complaint depending on how well they research the title before filing to foreclose. If your tenants are served they may not forward...

He has 3 young kids. Can they be forced to move?
That depends on the language in the association documents, which we cannot review in this online forum. The Housing for Older Persons Act allows an association to have up to 20% of the owners to be under 55, but again this depends on the language in the association documents if the association...

Generally, no. Board members should not be amending documents themselves to start with. These documents are contracts and the Florida Supreme Court has indicated in an advisory back in the mid-90s that amendments to these documents require a Florida-licensed attorney and any non-lawyer might be...

Are solar powered attic vents and solar light tubes (ie solatube) considered "solar collectors"?
There are not specifically designated in the statute but the solar tubes or skylights are addressed in a case called Sorrentino v River Run Condo. Ass’n 925 So. 2d 1060; 2006 Fla. App where the appellate court held skylights are a renewable energy source.
The will never went through probate and my grandmother has lived in the property openly and unchallenged by her two surviving siblings for over 10 years. She has paid the property taxes each year herself. Is the property legally hers? If so, how do we make it official and if not, what can we do to... Read more »
Your grandmother needs to hire a real estate/probate attorney to resolve this issue. It is not something that can be resolved with general advice on the internet and the attorney would have to review the last deed and the will.
Yes, these are official records and subject to disclosure.
My dad is in poor health, he is unresponsive. He noted in his will he will leave all estates to his children, split amongst them.

It depends on how the deed reads. It may go to the other title holders if there is right of survivorship language in the deed or other similar language. If not, the other title holders would still have their proportional share and your father's share would be disbursed per the terms of his... Read more »
