Monday, February 1st, 2021 in Announcements, Condo, Health, HOA, Legal, Pets, Service Animals, Uncategorized, Vendors by FAN

Managing requests from residents or guests for an accommodation for an emotional support animal can be difficult for associations to navigate, especially when the disability is not readily apparent.  However, the State of Florida has recently adopted legislation to assist associations with determining what they can and cannot request from the individual when evaluating the […]

You Get What You Pay For – Assistance Animal Application Packages

Friday, October 4th, 2019 in Condo, HOA, Legal, Pets, Service Animals, Uncategorized by FAN

The complaint heard often from condominium and HOA board members is in regard to the influx of assistance animals in their “no pet” or pet restricted communities.

Monday, December 17th, 2018 in Condo, HOA, Legal, Pets, Uncategorized by FAN

The dog barks, and the parrot squawks. A neighbor is cooking with too much garlic, again. An owner is smoking non-stop on their balcony making it unpleasant for everyone else.

Rembaum’s Association Roundup: Community Association Liability For Dog Bites – Woof, Woof, Woof

Tuesday, August 29th, 2017 in Announcements, Condo, HOA, Legal, Pets, Safety, Service Animals by FAN

Word of the Week: Rules and Regulations

Wednesday, November 5th, 2014 in Announcements, Condo, Contracts, HOA, Legal, Management, Pets by FAN

The word this week is Rules and Regulations. Although Rules and Regulations are not a formal part of the Governing Documents, they are still very important in that they define restrictions for owners that are mandatory, not voluntary. Some associations do NOT publish a consolidated list of rules and regulations. Instead, they rely on management […]

Fun Fridays – So Close!

Friday, July 18th, 2014 in Announcements, Condo, Health, HOA, Landscaping, Pets, Property Maintenance by FAN

A board member snapped this photo. The community put up these dog waste receptacles to make it easier for residents to pick up after their dogs. This is just plain ridiculous. It may be time for them to invest in Poo Prints! Do you have a crazy picture or story to share? Email it to […]
