The article that is below was given to Dot Loewenstein over 2 weeks ago and I asked her
if my article could appear in the January issue of The UCO Reporter and for some unknown
reason it is not there. I feel that this article is very important for all Associations who have
experienced a unit owner walking away from the unit they own and is leaving all of their
maintenance in the hands of the other unit owners of the Association.
URGENT:
Century Village CONDO OWNERS NEED TO SUPPORT SB 780
Foreclosure Proceedings/Payment of Fees
Dear Century Village Owners:
We need to make sure that Senate Bill SB 780, filed by Senator Evelyn Lynn, will pass
through the legislature and will be signed into law by the Governor. This bill, in short,
demands that banks and mortgage companies are liable for Associations fees owned by
units from the day of the filing for foreclosure or the date that the unit owner walked
away from their unit.
See full text here: http://ccfj.net/PB10SB780.html
We heard in the last few months many complaints from owners and board members
demanding reforms because the many foreclosed units are causing serious budget
deficits and increases of Associations, HURTING ALL OWNERS.
Write Senator Lynn a Thank-You note for filing SB 780. Make sure you say how much
this bill is needed to protect the financial sanity of our community Associations. Here
is Senator Lynn's email address: lynn.evelyn.web@flsenate.gov.
You should also write Senate President Jeff Atwater that this bill is desperately needed
and that it is time to stop protecting banks at the expense of owners. BANKS got bail-
out money, our Associations did not. Tell Senator Atwater that he has to stop killing
bills that will help our Associations. He wants to be Florida's next Chief Financial
Officer. Let him know how strongly you feel about this issue. His email address is:
atwater-jeffrey.web@flsenate.gov.
WE MUST ACT NOW BEFORE THE 2010 LEGISLATIVE SESSION BEGINS.

I sent an E-Mail in support of SB 780 and the Atwater E-mail address had flaws and was not delivered . I suggest people go directly to Sen Atwater's homepage and send the e-mail from there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike for letting me know
ReplyDeleteabout Sen. Atwater's email address.
That is the address that I was
given. Please let unit owners
know how to go directly to Sen.
Atwater's homepage.
Here is his address I got from his website.
ReplyDeleteatwater.jeff.web@
flsenate.gov
Thanks Mike for Sen. Atwater's
ReplyDeletecorrect email address.
there was a Nov 19 post about this and I did my contacting then-perhaps others did also. Hopefully those with internet have/will work to get non internet neighbors to write a snail mail letter.
ReplyDeleteI copied and pasted Mike's address for Senator Jeff Atwater and it didn't work.Does anyone have the correct address?
ReplyDeleteI found the senator's web site. You cannot access his web mail because "default mail client not properly installed" Great trick, that way no one can reach you by Email. I suggest people send him a letter. A stamp is cheaper than an association paying for an empty condo.
ReplyDeleteI suggest everyone call him and ask about his e-mail and also ask him to support SB780. You can also ask his office if he is in favor of SB780. If the person does not know , ask them to find out and get back to you. Give them your address and Phone #
ReplyDeleteMy thanks to all who have emailed
ReplyDeletemy requests. If you know of an
association who is experiencing
a unit owner who has walked away
from their condo I would appreciate
if you would give them a copy of
my blog. Info on Sen. Atwater:
Sen. Jeff Atwater
824 US Highway 1, #210
North Palm Beach, FL 33408
(561) 625-5101
The above address is his
District Office
His email which is in all lower
case is:
atwater.jeff.web@flsenate.gov
Again, I really appreciate what
you are doing.
Thanks a million
I finally was able to speak to a
ReplyDeletelive person (aide to Sen. Atwater)
today at Atwater's office and told
her the trouble we all are having
trying to email Atwater. I told
her the reason is we want Sen.
Atwater to know that we strongly
want SB 780 to pass and have the
Governor sign it into law. I told
her there are a lot of voters that
I am speaking for and to let the Sen. know this. She took down my name and email address and if luck is with us hopefully the Sen. will
emil me or at least his aide will
email with news.
Nutmegger, it is always a good idea before you put an address up for others to use to try it first. "atwater.jeff etc, etc." is not a good address just as the other Email address isn't as well. He obviously doesn't want Emails.
