Summary
Condominium and Property Owners' Association Acts; rule enforcement. Provides that associations may file or defend a legal action in general district or circuit court to seek an order to require that any violation of the condominium instruments or rules duly adopted pursuant thereto be corrected. However, the bill provides that before any action authorized in the bill or in the governing documents is taken to enforce rules violations and after written notice of the alleged violation to the owner at the address required for notices of meetings, the owner shall be given a reasonable opportunity to correct the alleged violation. If the violation remains uncorrected, the owner shall be given an opportunity to be heard and to be represented by counsel before the board or such other tribunal as the governing documents or rules duly adopted pursuant thereto specify. The bill gives an appeal of right from general district court an action involving rule enforcement filed by a condominium unit owners' association or unit owner or of an action filed by a property owners' association or lot owner. The bill provides that in the event of a legal action involving rule enforcement, the prevailing party is entitled to recover court costs and reasonable attorney fees. Currently, only the association is entitled to recover such costs and fees.
