I live in Florida in a Homeowner's Assoc., I have just learned that HOA Laws and Condo Laws are different and I (1) cannot find Find a complete source for Florida HOA Laws and (2) need an answer to this question: Our neighbors and ourselves have waterfront property separated by a large grassy area, which is common area, after 3 years here in peace and quiet the kids have decided this is now a football field, inspite of the fact that there is a designated ball field 1/4 mile from us on Association Property.
While we do not dispute this is common area, we find the noise a nusiance/annoyance; we have an article in our docs which reads: Article XII section 10 “ No nuisance shall be allowed upon any unit or made of any unit that is a source of annoyance to other unit owners or interferes with the peaceful possession and proper use of the units by the resident thereof.” Thus far we have written the Board, gone to board meetings, filed a complaint with the Police and argued with the offenders parents.
The Boards lawyer says this article applies ONLY to noise/nusiances traveling from one unit to another, not noise/nusiance from a common area; which says to me that I can't blast my radio from inside my house, but I can step outside my door onto common ground and let it rip...is it at all possible this guy is correct???
Thank you.
