Common Issues
What our legal team finds most often
01

Vendor Contracts Without Competitive Bidding

Boards awarding contracts to favored vendors without obtaining competitive bids as required by statute or governing documents — often involving six-figure annual contracts.

02

Legal Fees That Benefit the Board

Associations spending six figures on legal fees and management costs that primarily benefit board members and management companies — not the owners who pay assessments.

03

Election Irregularities

Improper notice, manipulated proxies, election violations, and board seats that were never properly contested — allowing the same directors to maintain control indefinitely.

04

Reserve Fund Deficiencies

Inadequate reserve funding leading to surprise special assessments — often after years of board decisions to waive reserve contributions or fund capital expenditures improperly.

FAQ
Questions about HOA legal services

Individual unit owners in Florida condominium and HOA communities. Our services are designed for owners who want to enforce their statutory rights against boards, management companies, or associations. We represent owners — not boards or management companies.

Most services are completed within 5–10 business days. Demand letters and records requests: 3–5 business days. The comprehensive governance assessment: 10–15 business days. Rush service is available at 1.5× the standard rate when time is critical.

Condominiums: Chapter 718 (Florida Condominium Act) and Chapter 61B (DBPR rules). HOAs: Chapter 720 (Florida Homeowners' Association Act). Both: Chapter 617 (Florida Not-for-Profit Corporations Act). Our legal team works exclusively with these statutes and can identify violations most owners — and many attorneys — miss.

Yes. Florida HOA and condo law (Chapters 718 and 720) applies uniformly statewide. Whether you're in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Tampa, Orlando, or anywhere else in Florida, the same statutes govern your association. Our team handles matters statewide.

When 5 or more owners share a common concern, our team can represent the group collectively at a significantly reduced per-owner cost — starting from $350 per owner. Coalition representation is powerful: it demonstrates broad owner support and carries more weight with boards and management companies. Contact us to discuss whether this applies to your situation.

Contact us and describe your situation. Most HOA and condo issues fit within one or more of our service categories. For complex matters outside our standard menu, our team will advise on the best approach and provide custom pricing.

HOA and condo legal services are provided by Shrayer Law Firm LLC, a separate legal entity from BidZen LLC (the real estate brokerage). The two services are completely independent — you do not need to be a real estate client to use the legal services, and vice versa. Engagement for legal services creates an attorney-client relationship governed by the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct.
