Class-Action Lawsuits are Being Filed Against HOAs for Charging Excessive Fees

The Miami Herald has reported the filing of a class-action lawsuit against a homeowners association for allegedly violating Florida’s state laws governing the maximum amount that a homeowners association can charge for transfer fees in connection with the sale or lease of a separate interest that is part of the homeowners association. This lawsuit is said to be the first of several class-action cases that attorneys reportedly plan to file against various homeowners association that have been routinely charging excessive transfer fees that are in excess of the maximum amounts that are permitted by the state statutes.
