Dedicated to Resident-Owned Mobile Home, RV, and Subdivision Communities
A much needed update to Florida’s laws governing service animals was signed into law yesterday (June 11, 2015).
Here’s the link to the full text of House Bill 71 that shows the numerous revisions to Florida Statute Section 413.08.
It appears that Florida’s lawmakers are taking some positive steps to combat what I’ve referred to…
Welcome to 2015 and my best wishes to all of my blog’s followers for a very happy and healthy new year.
2014 was an extremely busy year and I was unable to post entries here as often as in previous years. I’m hereby resolving to do better in 2015.
We’ll start 2015 with a reminder…
Florida’s Governor has signed into law Senate Bill 807 which contains very important changes to the laws governing resident owned communities. I’ll discuss many of those in future entries to this blog but since we’re now into hurricane season, I thought I’d first highlight the creation of Florida Statute Sections 719.128 and 720.316…
Now that Memorial Day is behind us, and many of our "snowbirds" have returned to their northern homes, my blog followers who are managers or board members in resident owned manufactured housing cooperatives can turn their attention to subsections (5) and (6) Florida Statute Section 719.1055.

Our first certification training course for board members of resident owned cooperative associations was a great success with over 80 attendees earlier this week at Westwinds Village in Bradenton. Thanks to everyone that attended and to Westwinds for its great hospitality.
We’ve added one more date to those we’ve already scheduled:

Welcome to the new world of training for board members in our resident-owned cooperatives!
Annual meeting season has begun and new board members are being elected. As you know, Florida Statutes now require that newly elected or appointed board members either certify in writing to the co-op’s secretary that the new board member has…
In the week or so since my last entry, I’ve been contacted by managers and board members from several resident owned cooperatives who have received notices about the new recent requirement for mandatory homeowners associations to register with the State.
I want to clarify that condominium associations formed under Florida Statute Chapter 718 and cooperative…
I was just forwarded a press release from Florida’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation announcing the creation of its website for mandatory homeowners’ associations to register online.
