Florida House Bill 1013


HB 1013 is a "posterchild for the anti-consumer attitude of the Florida legislature, so says the Community Association Member Party. If this bill is enacted, developers can create subpar roads and drainage systems, charge homeowners a lot of money for those items -- and then leave homeowners with nothing but expensive repairs. No more warranties for faulty construction of common elements -- and that's retro-active!

If Governor Rick Scott signs this bill into law, only people with a financial death-wish would buy into a developer-run community. Horror stories about developer fraud and scams have already ruined Florida's reputation among retirees from up North who think about relocating to warmer weather. The flow of new retirees moving to Florida has stopped."

Florida should not protect developers who want to make a fast buck at the expense of the home-buyers and Florida residents.

And remember in November not to vote for the legislators who want to ruin our life-style in exchange for campaign funds.
