I live in a retirement community in Central Florida. We own our manufactured homes,but rent our land from the park owner. The park owner approached our HOA and said he was going to reclassify our lot from standard to preserve because we have a lot with woods in the rear. The woods is not the property of the park owner. There are 25 lots that are reclassified.
After some meetings, the park owner backed down and he said he would not change the lot from standard to preserve. We felt we had a victory. We felt our HOA won a battle for the residents.
Then after a month , our HOA signed off on a agreement with the owners and our homes would be reclassfied after January 1,2011.
Our rent would not be charged as a preserve lot until we sell. When
we sel,l we will have to decrease the asking price of our home to compensate for the big hit increase in rent.
The real problem is the 25 renters were not even told about the agreement until it was signed by our HOA. The question is doesn't a HOA have to inform the residents before they sign off on peoples homes? It should be noted that we were never invited to any meeting or given any updates. It should also be noted it doesnt say anything
in our by-laws that the HOA must inform the members of any legal trasactions.
I would appreciate all of your input.
Thank You
