Florida statutes regulating HOAs and COAs are weak, without substance and virtually offer no protection for the home owner. Florida Home Owners Unite is inviting all residents of Florida to unite in a common crusade to defeat the lobbyists in Tallahassee and win over our legislators. We need statute reform desperately! The only ammunition available to accomplish this mission is the participation of every resident of Florida. We need your help to accomplish this!

We are outraged over this and you should be too. Please HELP!Crusade Detail
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO STOP THIS MADNESS ......
Many Florida HOAs and COAs are out of control. Some folks have even lost their homes and everything they own resulting from some of the egregious atrocities. Now, let's be clear, not all associations are evil. In fact many operate exceptionally well. However, those that fail to operate according to law and their own governing documents are "PURE EVIL" and the law requires reform to put an end to criminal misconduct.
It is time Tallahassee responded to the outcries of Florida residents. Make no mistake, this is a nationwide epidemic but we are concerned about our own well being so Florida is our target for now.
Even though you may not be personally affected by this despicable, immoral behavior at the moment, things can change in a heartbeat. Protect your future and become engaged now to level the playing field by reforming the legal landscape some 9 million residents of Florida face today.
Florida Home Owners Unite is organizing a "CRUSADE" of "ALL" Florida residents to join the battle to correct this injustice. Our objective is legislate reform of Florida 720 and 718 statues that regulate deed restricted communities. To accomplish this we need to educate every Florida state legislator about these atrocities. That's where you are able to help.
Not only will we educate them, we will assist them in drafting appropriate legislative reform of existing statutes to remedy these atrocities. You can be part of this crusade by Joining Our Crusade Now. Let your voice be heard. We will be relentlessly reminding "ALL" our Florida legislators of "OUR" commitment to remedy these issues as well as their moral obligation to hear our cries for help. These nightmares have plagued us for too long. If you are undisturbed by these atrocities there is little reason for you to continue reading or be concerned for that matter.
Please help us put a stop to this criminal madness by joining our crusade.

Real Evidence
Condo enforcement: Pay $25 late fee or… lose your home?
All of this drama began over a mere $25.
As usual, the HOA has labeled the homeowner (Silva) as “difficult.” Why didn’t he just pay the $25 like an obedient association member? Why has he prolonged the battle over such a small issue?
