The Community Associations Institute Florida Legislative Alliance (CAI-FLA) needs your help opposing legislation that could impact your association’s ability to file a construction defect claims! SB 586 Actions by Condominium Associations is in the Senate Judiciary Committee, and we need you to tell the Committee to OPPOSE this bill! If enacted, this bill would remove important statutory language added last year which tolls the running of the statute of repose to the date of turnover when a majority of a condominium board is elected by owners.

Without this important statutory clarification, only the statute of limitations applies to condominium claims. CAI-FLA worked hard last session to ensure that this protection was put in place for condominium homeowners. By undoing the current law, a developer would be able to hold onto control of an association until the statute of repose runs out, thereby effectively quashing any construction defect claim prior to the unit owner-run board taking over.

We need you to reach out to the Committee and tell them to OPPOSE SB 586, and protect the right of future associations to file a construction defect claim!
