The Florida statutes and your HOA condo document(s) govern your condominium complex with the Florida statues always taking precedence if a conflict occurs.
For the most part, the Florida 718 condo statutes protect owners and require HOA board members to be both responsible and transparent in their actions while representing the owners.
The first principle of condo ownership is that there should be no secrets between an HOA board and owners. Unfortunately, some HOA boards don't or won't accept this core principle.
The statutes can be difficult to read, but thankfully there are many well written law blogs posted on the Internet, and online statute classes are available to anyone who is interested.
For example, if you're concerned about the use of surveillance cameras at your complex, then check out Installing Security Cameras In Florida Condo Associations.
And make sure you fully understand that there are two types of attorneys that practice condo-related law in Florida: attorneys that represent HOA boards and attorneys that represent owners. We'll be adding more information about this soon.
