Many homeowners and HOA board members assume that when a dispute arises, the next step is simple… file a lawsuit.But in Florida, that assumption can cost you thousands of dollars.Under Florida Statute 720.311, most disputes in homeowners associations must go through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) before a lawsuit can even begin. That usually means pre-suit mediation, where both sides attempt to resolve the issue before stepping into a courtroom.If that step is skipped, a case can be delayed, dismissed, or become dramatically more expensive than necessary.In this episode of Condo Craze and HOAs, attorney Eric Glazer breaks down how the law actually works and explains:• When HOA disputes require mediation first• When disputes must go to arbitration instead• When you can go straight to court• Why the Florida Legislature created this system• The costly mistake homeowners and boards make when they skip the required processUnderstanding these rules can save homeowners and associations thousands of dollars in legal fees and prevent disputes from spiraling into unnecessary litigation.If you live in an HOA or serve on a board, this is one of the most important legal procedures to understand before taking action.⸻Watch Condo Craze and HOAs live every Sunday at 11 AM on YouTube.Learn how Florida condo and HOA laws impact your building, your finances, and your rights as an owner.YouTube TitleHOA Lawsuits Explained: The Step Florida Law Requires Before You Go to Court⸻Alternative Titles (higher curiosity / click potential)HOA Dispute?
