in FL,
Hello all, please help me with an issue I am having regarding the rights of the members on the condo association.
I am a guest that visit's my girlfriend's building on the weekends... I normally dont drink, but last weekend i was invited to a tailgate on saturday- and after being highly intoxicated I said an off colored joke going back to her apt in the elevator...it was to the VP of the board ( I didnt know who he was at the time)... He obviously didnt take it too lightly cause he told security to ban me from the building...
my GF got a phone call from the property mgr. monday saying we can do this officially or unofficially, but that i'm not allowed back.
security was informed not only to ban me, but the specifics of what was said and obviously turned in a negative light making me look very bad. It just so happens that some of the security personnel are friends with my brother - who lives in the middle east.... he called me from halfway across the world telling me he heard, as well as a few other friends and family.
aside from the fact that libel is being spread based on a split second lapse in judgement...I am losing sleep and becoming aggravated... they harrassed my girlfriend telling her that she shouldnt date a scumbag like me and kept referring to me as a "thing."
I am pretty sure they have overstepped thier boundaries however my ONLY concern is lifting the ban so that I can stay with my girlfriend. I called the president yesterday and explained that I am being an adult and admitting that I made a mistake and that I would like to sit with the board, face to face so they can see I am not as bad of a guy as he is making me out to be. He understood and mentioned that it wont be necessary to sit with the whole board but maybe just with the 3 of us. (P, VP, and me)
My question is, does this VP have the authority to ban a guest? I mean if your going to charge me with something, then charge me...but does he really how the power to single-handedly decide who can and cannot enter the premises?
Please if anyone has any information on the subject, I appreciate your input.
Thank you!
