I feel sorry for the renters, the condo owners are clearly responsible. Hopefully the people who enforce the new laws will hold them accountable. I don't know, but maybe the law should include a provision that apartment complex owners and condo owners and their associations are financially responsible for relocating renters if their properties do not pass inspection.

There should be a 5yr inspection - The main problem likely started with a bad roof, the leak created moisture which attracted termites. Once you have termites in a condo/apartment building, you MUST tent it and that costs +$10K. The management company didn't want to report that to the owners because they wanted to keep their contract and the whole situation snowballed into this.

People must understand that these are individually owned condo units. This is not an apartment complex with one single owner. The people complaining are tenants, not owners. That's why none of them said they were paying assessments. There are hundreds of individual landlords here each leasing out their individual units. Each landlord is doing or not doing their own thing. There may not be even a functioning board of directors that meet monthly with an agenda because that board would have to consist of the different landlord owners who have to agree to volunteer to run the condo without getting paid.

I'm glad I've lived long enough to see what's been happening in Florida construction. Back after hurricane Andrew, FEMA, metro Dade county, and of course, every lobbyist from every material manufacturer, construction company, began their self-serving agendas. I was involved with the roofing code conversations. By 1994, and the new, tougher metro Dade building codes being finalized , it was pathetically obvious nothing was changed, improved, nor solved. History since shows this. Florida, stop grandfathering back stupidity. Your maintenance, insurance, and cost of living were affected decades ago. Hurricane, tornado, geographies need to reconsider design, location, and materials to properly mitigate long term costs. And cost , especially in lives matters. Nothing is going to change, and as time is proving, only getting worse. Stop being so greedily short sighted. Kicking the can is ignorance.

You cannot settle down fully if you don't own where you live, its never permanent so there is that. Its called renting, never get fully too attached as you can get pushed out for various reasons at any time including new buyers of the rental, neighbors from hell, and prices exceeding your budget over time. Have an exit plan ready of some sort and you will survive renting is all I can say.

Why are they entitled to moving expenses? IDGI. They have a lease. They pay rent to live there. Or maybe they don't have a lease and are there month-to-month Any agreement is governed by the lease contract. Whatever the contract says goes. Likely, the only avenue they have is some social services department.... but there's probably thousands of people just like them that were in line first.
