Florida Condos Barred From Suing Unit Owners Who Criticize Board Decisions

In the aftermath of the Surfside condo collapse, the Florida Legislature has made a number of changes to the state’s condo law in 2024. This is one of the changes.

The Champlain Towers South condo collapse in the barrier island town of Surfside on June 24, 2021 was an inflection point for Florida’s real estate market.

Florida condo associations can no longer use community funds to sue units owners who criticize the decisions of boards of directors under a series of 2024 revisions to the state’s condo law.

Condo boards are also prohibited from fining, raising assessments and/or decreasing services for units owners who disagree – privately or publicly – with the decisions of their respective associations.

Associations that violate this law against unit owners risk the courts awarding attorneys fees, costs, actual damages and “treble” damages.
