ReplyDeleteThe legislature answered that specific question in 2011 with the following additional text to Section 718.112(2)(d), Florida Statutes:
ReplyDelete"Any unit owner desiring to be a candidate for board membership must . . .be eligible to serve on the board of directors at the time of the deadline for submitting a notice of intent to run in order to have his or her name listed as a proper candidate on the ballot or to serve on the board."
Section 718.112(2)(n), Florida Statutes, to which Dave refers in his posting, provides:
"A director or officer more than 90 days delinquent in the payment of any monetary obligation due the association shall be deemed to have abandoned the office, creating a vacancy in the office to be filled according to law."
If a unit owner is more than 90 days delinquent in the payment of ANY monetary obligation to the Association he or she is no longer eligible to run for the Board.
