Q. What to do with an owner who becomes a nuisance for the others?

A. If the occupier of a unit or the unit owner is creating a nuisance the board of directors should be notified and they should take steps to have the nuisance abated. If the board refuses to take action they should be notified by certified mail and after 30 days if they continue to refuse or fail to respond then legal action may be taken. If the problem is serious the police should be notified immediately to document the problem.

MISMANAGEMENT OR DISSATISFACTION

The Office of the Ombudsman is unable to impose a timetable or conditions with respect to how your Condominium Association complies with State Law and the Association's Declaration, By Laws and Rules, as long as it is in reasonable compliance with them. The board has unquestionable power and authority to mismanage the association under the judicial Business Judgment Rule.

  A grievance that management of a condominium does not perform its duty fast enough to satisfy some of the Unit Owners, is not within the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman's office, as long as Management acts reasonably.

Unit Owners might consult with their personal attorney in the event they sustain personal injuries or are otherwise damaged as a result of Managements' negligence or refusal to reasonably comply with Florida Statutes, or the Condominium Declaration, By Laws or Rules. If Unit Owners are dissatisfied with Management they should consider a recall.

Q.- What are the resources available to solve condo disputes with the Board or other owners?
