“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
In a related discussion, South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) has suggested that it may be time to consider abolishing homeowners associations (HOAs) entirely. This comes amid increasing complaints from Floridians about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests stemming from HOA disputes. Porras mentioned that he is contemplating filing legislation in the upcoming session to repeal HOAs statewide.
