Recently read an article in Miami Herald “Condo rip-off: Tenant sues association over high fees”. If you deal with condos, you, probably, run into those high fees charged to Sellers, Buyers or Tenants.
In Florida we got to the point that recently enacted legislation governing Estoppel fees…
But there is something very interesting in this lawsuit. It is a class-action suit, and it is “the first of several class-actions that attorneys say they plan to file against condo associations over high fees.” (read the full article here)
The suit was brought by a tenant who claims he was forced to pay $625 in non-refundable fees.
$100 for a background check;
$175 for administrative fee;
$125 for registration;
$225 for move-in
Well, maybe this would stop Condo Boards and CAM companies in their never-ending quest for unearned money.
