North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality’s Post

Fort Lauderdale East Partner Craig Minko and Associate Nat Morales recently obtained an extraordinary victory for a South Florida community association. The case involved a tenant of a unit owner suing the community association for a breach of a lease agreement with his landlord and violations of Chapter 83, Florida Statutes. Our team filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings on the basis that the community association was not the tenant's "landlord", and was otherwise not party to the lease agreement. The Court ultimately granted the Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, entering full and final judgment in our client's favor. This ruling establishes a critical legal distinction, clarifying that, under the current language of Chapter 83, community associations cannot be considered the "landlord" of tenants renting from the unit owners, and that lease agreements between unit owners and their tenants do not incorporate community associations as parties to the agreements. This precedent should certainly have a positive and lasting impact on community associations throughout South Florida.

We are approaching an imminent deadline with significant implications for owners and associations in Florida. A pivotal decision at this juncture could potentially unlock a range of new alternatives for stakeholders.

Every action we take sends out ripples far and wide. This is especially true in our professional roles where what we do has far reaching influence and consequence for people's lives. Yesterday I co-hosted a rental home quality event with Rebecca Pinkstone as a joint initiative of NSW Fair Trading and Homes NSW. Over 310 people registered with representatives from across government and the tenancy support and housing delivery sectors attending. The event welcomed award winning author, journalist and contributing editor to Inside Housing, Peter Apps to discuss his forensic analysis and deeply human reporting on the Grenfell tragedy. It delivered critical lessons for all involved in the delivery and maintenance of safe quality rental homes in NSW. Sharing my #ThursdayThree takeaways 📝Due Diligence and Inclusivity: Peter quoted a powerful statement from the Grenfell Inquiry summarised below. It serves as a moving call to action and a reinforcing reminder of the importance of rigorous due diligence, inclusive decision-making, and a people-centered approach in all of our work. 🛑Accountability is critical. Strong governance with clear ownership and responsibility is a core principle and practice of public service. Peters book describes detailed examples of the failures of this that contributed to the Grenfell tragedy. 👂Knowing and listening to your Tenants. For landlords and property managers, especially those overseeing high-rise buildings, it's crucial to understand not just the building's maintenance needs but also the individual needs of your tenants. They are your eyes and ears- listen to them and get a plan in place for what individual support they may need in an emergency. #RentalHomes #Renting #RentalCommissioner #Grenfell #HousingQuality #HousingSupply #Governance #Renters #Landlords #Strata #SocialHousing Peter Apps is the author of Show me the Bodies; How we let Grenfell Happen and has spent over a decade reporting on the UK housing crisis and solutions.

#DidYouKnow that in 1980, Bet Tzedek filed a class action lawsuit aimed at overturning scores of approved condominium conversions? The lawsuit claimed that West Hollywood tenants did not receive adequate notice of the planned conversion of their apartment buildings. This lawsuit, which allowed Bet Tzedek to support dozens of vulnerable tenants at once, was an important milestone in our early work upholding housing justice and creating city-wide equity. Today, our Eviction Defense Program is an important part of Stay Housed L.A., a partnership between Los Angeles County, the City of Los Angeles, and local community and legal service providers that works to keep people in their homes. We continue to offer services for tenants, homeowners, and the unhoused today: https://lnkd.in/gKkQNAup #50YearsOfJusticeForAll

Though The Commercial Dispatch headline is hard to argue with, there is more to the story. Getting the right "stick" on "the books" is a great first step, but to ensure more frequent and accelerated actions, additional resources need to me made available. With the rare exception, funding and training for code enforcement has not been the priority at State Legislatures. In the interim, more focus should be given to a) ensure code enforcement is utilizing all available resources, internally and externally, and; b) updating local ordinances and; c) ensuring policies and procedures (and their respective resources) are created, implemented and utilized with proactivity, efficiency and logic. On the last point, the article discusses "properties which don’t need much attention" but even "simple" grass/weed cutting can add up, especially with limited funding and staffing. If there were ways to get others to do it shouldn't they be utilized?
