Can My Condo Association Regulate Door-to-Door Deliveries?

By Steven A. Mason, P.A. |

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, door-to-door deliveries were becoming more common in the United States. While the pandemic saw some restrictions on deliveries due to fear of contagion, most associations have lifted these controls since. That said, some Florida community associations are seeking to reintroduce them, arguing that door-to-door delivery is a convenience, not… Read More »

Children & The Fair Housing Act

By Steven A. Mason, P.A. |

The federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) prohibits discrimination based on a person’s membership in a protected class – race/color, religion, national origin, sex (gender identity and sexual orientation explicitly included), religion, disability, and ‘familial status.’ The latter is not normally found in federal antidiscrimination lawsuits, but for the FHA, it explicitly refers to families… Read More »

Can Florida Community Associations Ban Masks?

By Steven A. Mason, P.A. |

In late 2023, the Florida legislature and governor passed a law, euphemistically called the Protection from Discrimination Based on Health Care Choices Act, which bans businesses and governmental entities from refusing opportunities based on vaccination status – and prohibits the requiring of masks in public places. In the rush to declare normalcy, though, there… Read More »

Community Associations & Hurricane Preparedness

By Steven A. Mason, P.A. |

Summer is the start of hurricane season in Florida, and community associations generally try to begin to prepare for storms as early as possible to protect their residents, particularly in more storm-prone areas like Miami and the Keys.

By Steven A. Mason, P.A. |

Homeowners’ associations (HOA) in Florida have the right to regulate almost everything that happens in the association, from assessment payments to what color a homeowner may paint their garage. This extends to the display of flags – more and more nowadays, some homeowners are choosing to display not only the U.S. flag, but also… Read More »

Can Unenforced Community Association Restrictions Be ‘Revived?’

By Steven A. Mason, P.A. |

There are many different documents that govern a Florida community association: bylaws, the Declaration of Condominium, the conditions, covenants and restrictions (CC&Rs), and other rules that may have been passed by the board. In theory, they are meant to be observed and followed, but over time, it is not uncommon for enforcement to grow… Read More »

Florida Condo Board Members & Fiduciary Duty

By Steven A. Mason, P.A. |

Almost every condominium building is run by an association, which then nominates or elects a board of directors. While every unit owner is an association member, the board of directors is generally a smaller group, and may include a professional property manager or management company, as well as unit owners. In Florida, both the… Read More »

Emotional Support Animals & Community Associations

By Steven A. Mason, P.A. |

There are many, many people who own pets and get genuine love and joy from that relationship. Some animals, however, have a higher calling, being specifically registered as emotional support animals (ESAs) or service animals to assist their owners with specific conditions. That said, it is sadly not uncommon for landlords and other housing… Read More »

Installing Security Cameras In Florida Condo Associations

By Steven A. Mason, P.A. |

More and more often nowadays, community associations are installing security cameras in common areas, in order to combat potential criminal acts (for example, vandalism) or negligent behavior. However, an association cannot simply install them – Florida case law holds that to install cameras is a ‘material or substantial alteration’ to the common areas, and… Read More »
