Question

What is a "temporary board"?

What would a management company with a lawyer in their pocket do for you? What is the stated purpose of this? Sounds shady.

As of July 1 an HOA's attorney must not also work for the HOA's management company. That's for condos only, however, and if you're in an HOA there is no such prohibition.

Temporary Board means ,management company and complete board resigned.A temporary board was created by a couple of unit owners assisting to the meeting no more than 6 until a Permament Board is elecyted to avoid appointee for the State.Treasurer of the resigned Board is Back to avoid complain in progress.T o my common sense understanding resigning and return should have a period of time or at least more accessories.

The law is written in sense,Officer resign because there is a complain against him,complain is in progress even there is a criminal action involved,and now he wants to comeback like a new day without problem,sounds fishy,management company resigned and is delivering docs to the board the 19 of this month,
he return because he want delete evidence that involve him in the criminal case,they denied the worker was part of the condominium and I have the proof now
I believe after you resign in a complain you should not come back too soon.Otherwise the law is fishy too.

I also notice you have two or three posts regarding this board, with the underlying issue being your car being burned. If a condo employee was responsible, I’m not sure what the HOA board has to do with that or why it would prompt them and the management company to resign. Haven’t you filed a police report if you think this was vandalism or arson? Did you file a claim with your insurance company?

As for your post on recording board meetings on Twitter (not Tweeter), Tim and GenoS addressed that, so you need to listen to them – call the police if you’re being threatened (you’ll need to identify who’s doing it and describe exactly what this person did.)

If Florida law gives owners the right to record meetings, but I would suggest you look at the statute itself to see if there are other things you need to be aware of – for example, are we only talking about audio recordings? If you videotape it, are there issues if you post it on Twitter, Facebook, etc. and someone’s in the recording who doesn’t want to be seen? Geno, do you know the statute Carlos should reference?

If all this is an example of your board’s ongoing lack of competence when it comes to running the association, my previous suggestion stands – rally together your neighbors and get a permanent board in place so it can start doing some reviews to see what’s going on, who’s responsible (and should be held accountable) and how to resolve problems and keep them from happening again.

Person involved is a tenant and is hired as unlicensed worker for the condominium.
Car was burnt he is in the video helping another codefendant with the fuel and watch out and helping to leave the crime scene.
Wife is witness because is in the video testifying against his own husband this created another charge as domestic violence.
Terrorist was charged with Arson and Conspiracy.
The only problem I have in here is when President knocked my door and harassed,fined and said :Who ever I do not want here must be out of here.
President had been harassing me several times in 6 month even when was not my fault .
Terrorist had very good neighbor relationship with me even disclosed he worked in 3 units president has here and
in his private house,asked me a loan of 20.00 one week before the car was on fire.He paid back next day.
President never showed up after the fire or board of director to ask me if at least I need any help.
Reasons I believe my car was burnt down to the ground: Hispanic,only owner living in here,Freemason sign in my truck ,Jewish mezuzah in the door,
Masonic bible was on my truck visible and apron over the seat all the time,licenses in the state of Florida as expired Cam and Active Realestate,
in fact I do not know the cause of the vandalism but for sure they do not want me in here and I was throwed out of meetings.
If I recorded a meeting is because they lie all the time saying I am threatening them and callin 911.
I notified 911 there are making a drama and I do not have even a weapon and they are knocking my door,
Worker of the condominium is always asking money to everybody in here amd was bailed 5500 next day of the fire everybody comments He was helped by the board.
and Got a personal lawyer everybody mention was helped by the board.

My situation is grey in here,I listed my apartment for sale if the burnt my car they can kill me in this country town
I asked them for compensation otherwise I can not get out of here,my truck was my income I am in social security and my investment for my last days
was my condo pay in full and my like new truck.Now I am done with 600 a month in social security and 66 yo it is hard to get a job.

I do not think I can wait too longer the case close,I am asking help to the Board but with the ame treasurer will be hard.
Management company do not care who is in the Board the 19 they return all docs and they are donel
I can not afford a lawyer unless I pay if I am compensated.

Still not seeing how this is the HOA's responsibility to pay you anything. The thing that happened to you was a criminal issue and not done by the HOA. Your wanting and requesting money from the HOA to compensate you for anything is the wrong approach. The truck should have had insurance on it. Our state that is required by law to have liability insurance.

I think you want to make this into a "Hate crime" by mentioning all the racial and religious issues you deem as part of the issue. That is a federal level case. A judge would have to decide if the crime that happened was hate or vandalism.

Sounds like there is more to this story. However, just giving you a heads up. The HOA not your problem or your life support. Your problem is the INDIVIDUALS who did this crime.

Evidently the individual who did this crime was in his knees and told me I only have 6 month of Life I have cancer.

This individual was used by the board but unfortunately was caught in cameras.

Yes police is involved in the case and they were arrested
charged with Arson and back home next day with bail paid and lawyer representing.
This working were all the time begging in here (condominium workers)

Crime was in common elements,parking lot,president knocked my door and argued,a worker of the association it is involved and HOA has nothing to do,may be in the Court but not in reality/

Those are not as blind as those who will not see. The HOA board is NOT responsible for providing you an income or compensation for you to move/sell out. They did NOT set your car on fire. A contractor who worked on the property set your car on fire for whatever purpose they had against you or the truck. That does NOT make the HOA responsible for your situation.

You need to realize if you want to sell or move, then go do it. Don't blame someone else for your problems. If you do, then you will never get any resolution to your problems you want.

Your truck was set on fire by someone who worked on the property. They were NOT paid by the HOA to set your truck on fire. Sounds like your looking for "deep pockets" to pay for your life style. Guess what? Social Security is already doing that.

Being a victim and playing victim two different things. Once you start asking for cash to go away, your playing victim.

May I also point out that your on Social Security. The "income" your "losing" by not having that truck is supplemental income. The HOA isn't responsible to compensate you for whatever money your making on the side. That's not your sole source of income. Are you claiming that money you made from that work on your taxes?

Your basically trying to hold your HOA hostage with your wishes/demands. I can't see you as a mistreated suppressed victim of your HOA. Instead I see you as a victimizer of your HOA. Wanting to video tape you being "attacked" and posting it? Classic passive aggressive behavior. (Mentioned in another post).

My advice? Stop attacking your HOA and being attacked by your HOA. Take your losses and move on out. Live your life happy and out of the drama. Stop waiting for someone else to hand you a check unless you did real work for it.

Melissa a Treasurer resigning in the middle of a complain and a criminal issue
and returning 10 days later is shady or fishy.
A Treasurer that said: We need a Management Company with a lawyer in his pockets.
It is an open question to cloudy.
anyway It is domestic Terrorism is not vandalism/

Reportable income and HOA does not owe you a dime. What your doing is. Itis called extortion. Domestic terrorism is a new term used now a days as political correctness crap. It still means vandalism.

I gotcha Melissa.Thanks.

In God I trust.

He might have a better plan for me.

I've read through all this and I'm still not clear why Carlos thinks the COA owes him something. If you were the victim of vandalism via arson then yes that is a police matter and an insurance company matter. You mentioned that the suspect was in the employ of the COA so that is something I'd think the board would need to know. also it does not matter what you think the definitions of "Domestic Terrorism" vs. "Vandalism are" but it does matter what the law considers it and how it's dealt with.

The issue with the HOA secretary leaving and coming back seems irrelevant to the arson in the absence of any other evidence. Vague suspicions without evidence are not going to get you anywhere.

Finally, I'd reiterate what was asked earlier as to what you're asking this forum for? We're not lawyers or police. It's a group of folks who collectively have experience with and interest in HOA affairs, many of whom have been board members themselves or have had issues with HOAs in the past. All you'll find here are some general(non-legal) advice and some tips to help steer you based on collective experience.

I think you may be making the same mistake I did last night (but maybe not). Note that CarlJ2 is not the same poster as CarlosC5.

Melissa my English is poor,but I passed the Cam exam 20 years ago in the first intent and the same in my Real Estate license.
We can talk french,italian and Spanish just lil English but enough to makre more than 100k a year when I was active worker.

I am saying it's amazing how much clearer your English has become over this posting... Still say you want a money payout. You wouldn't have mentioned your past income if you were not. Just hope you realize the way you were going about it was just as illegal.

You have to wait till that court case with your truck finishes.
