I never imagined I would name a Thread this way but... I just made a House Call to someone who is seeing an attorney soon and had never received a Redbook--much less read it!
So, I showed him where it is on the Forum and also told him he would need to supplement it with the following documents--all of which can be found on the Forum.
1. Original Declarations of Covenants & Restrictions (the one on the Forum is for Unit 1. There are three (3) separate Declarations for Units 1-3, but all contain the exact same language so for the initial St age, the one on the Forum "will do". However, if a suit is filed, your attorney needs to acquire the correct Declaration for YOUR Unit plat from the county records!
2. 1986 "Amendment" to Covenants
3. The new language on the recently-ballotted change in Rules. (I am going to add this under its own Thread on the FL HOA Law and Government Board.)
These three documents are not in the Redbook, but form the authoritative basis of the judgements that the attorney will have to rely on when assessing your case.
Another article that will prove useful is the Comparison article that I authored on the difference between the original Covenants and the 1986 Amendment. I did a similar second article on the 1989 "amendment".
If you need help--CALL! Someone will help you.
