In this episode of Bad HOA, host Luke Carlson welcomes Keith, LS Carlson Law's Florida partner, to discuss the enforceability of HOA rules in Florida communities.

Keith shares insights on how Florida's progressive homeowner protection laws establish clear boundaries for HOA rulemaking authority. Discover the proper procedures HOAs must follow when creating new rules, including the latest requirements for providing notice to homeowners.

The conversation explores several categories of unenforceable rules, including those that violate constitutional rights, conflict with Florida statutes protecting solar panels and EV charging stations, contradict existing governing documents, or involve discriminatory enforcement practices.

Luke and Keith provide practical guidance for homeowners facing questionable HOA rules, from reviewing governing documents to pursuing legal action when necessary. The episode also covers Florida's requirement for alternative dispute resolution before litigation and the potential to recover attorney's fees when challenging unenforceable rules.

Whether you're dealing with pickleball court controversies or questionable architectural restrictions, this episode offers valuable insights for Florida homeowners navigating HOA governance.
