In this week's episode, we interview Bryan Levine. Bryan is a partner at Knox Levine, a firm that focuses on representing condominium and homeowner associations.

Recently, Florida passed a law known as the "Estoppel Law," Senate Bill 398. This new law governs certain aspects of what an association can or cannot do when issuing an estoppel letters - those letters that associations issue to let the homeowners know what they owe, what assessments are due, and other financial aspects of the property.

Some things included in the law:

1. The time-frame within which the Estoppel Letter must be issued;

2. A cap on the amount the association can charge for the letter;

3. Describes what information must be included in the Estoppel Letter;

4. The Estoppel Letters must be valid for 30 - 35 days.
