Tracey...Thanks...but

[destinfl]

Tracey, I first thank-you for your reply to my May 5 post. Unfortunately, not one of your suggestions can be used, so I prayfully request you again consider the following questions.
The original attorney has moved, and I am unable to locate him. Even if the access exists, I have been locked out of the hallway which was my ingress/egress by virtue of being common area. Even though there was a failure by local government regulators to require the necessary plans be filed as required by statute, which employee of the developer is responsible to file plans as required? And, lastly, is it possible to have a state statute explained?
Again, I sincerely thank-you as all of your replies can be appreciated as you, unlike your lettered named friend , reply in a courteous and seemingly caring way.

Well darn. I'd hoped those suggestions would do it. I think it's time to talk to a local real estate attorney about whether you can force the building owner/co-tenants to let you have a key to the common area and keep it open during business hours. There are some landlord liability issues when buildings are left open. If the co-tenants don't want the door unlocked, perhaps you can make them pay to install a new door with outside access?

I can't explain a FL statute to you, as that would probably constitute 'practicing law' in FL. I can only quote it.

Good luck,
Tracey
