After retiring from the legal field and moving to Florida, I had the opportunity to served as President of a Condominium Assn. In my opinion, this is one of the best publications available on condo matters. It is easy for the layman to read and understand, easy to use, find information and is constantly revised to keep abreast of changes. It contains many fine form examples or formats. It has been very helpful in resolving disputes, and maybe even saving legal costs. The author is one of the leaders in his field and has done an excellent in providing essential, practical and very useful information in this book. This is my second purchase of a revision of this book.
Excellent book, but NEVER live in a self-governed 55+ condo. You've been warned. Book itself however, is fantastic. Just wish I'd known about the book, and read it before I moved into a self-governed condo association here in Florida. Pitiful, incompetent, uneducated and hypocritical Board Member owners that form cliques and alienate condo owners. Board meetings are truly a bunch of old grumpy people swearing and arguing while accomplishing nothing.
This is a wonderful book. It breakes down the Condominum Act in terms that officers of associations and the owners of individual units can understand. Five stars is even to low to rate how wonderful this book is!
I thought I was ordering a used 12th edition through but I received 2ea 9th editions. I went back to see what I did wrong. I couldn't see any reference that I would get an older edition. I am afraid to order again. The book is very readable but I would like to know what I am missing.
This book is a must read for those living in Florida communties under the Florida Statue 718 ("The Condominium Act")including homeowners, directors and sales staff. It is very informative, easy to read, and utilizing the index and content pages, you are able to locate a desired subject quickly.
I have retired several later versions of this book and appreciate the updates. This book is a must read for any CAM or board member. I have highlighted and dog eared pages through out this book and refer to it often.
This book is well written and easy to understand. It delves into the regulations as written by the State and also discusses how your by-laws interact and the roles each play. This book gives information on everything from writing by-laws, to the actions of the board to the budget. If you are serving on a board or thinking about it - this is like a primer!
Excellent reference guide. A must for all condo associations and their directors.
