What is HOA Syndrome? ¿Qué es el síndrome HOA?


What is HOA Syndrome? 
¿Qué es el síndrome HOA?


HOA Syndrome falls into the psychiatric category of Anxiety Disorders. The Syndrome is characterized by a cluster of signs and symptoms–psychophysiological indicators–such as:

· feeling angry much of the time
· tired and fatigued
· anxious
· on-edge or irritable
· unhappy in one’s own home
· depressed and sad
· worried
· nihilistic (hopeless)
· over or under eating
· sleeping disorders and/or nightmares
· fear of going to one’s own mailbox,
· paranoia · loss of identity
· fear of allowing one’s children to play in their own neighborhood
· fear of having one’s car ticketed or towed
· stressed out
· body aches and pains
· intestinal problems and/or acid reflux
· memory loss · obsessive rumination
· temporal mandibular joint problems (TMJ) and/or grinding of teeth
· hypervigilance · restlessness
· fear of losing one’s pet
· sexual dysfunction

What Causes HOA Syndrome?

At the root of HOA Syndrome is intentional, longitudinal and methodical harassment. Shortly after the individual takes possession of their property, the HOA strategically begins to focus on the homeowner’s minor, if not non-existent infractions. The purpose for these attacks is to create an income stream. This income stream makes its way into the pockets of the management companies, collection agencies and attorneys, none of whom live within the community that they are harassing. Like ravenous parasites, these organizations feed off of fear-based harassment. The homeowner, now locked into a mortgage, feels powerless over the HOA’s relentless hounding for more and more money. In short: the evolution of schoolyard bullying and lunch money stealing has turned into adult comportment known in the legal world as, racketeering, financial exploitation and extortion, and neighborhood money pilfering.



¿Qué es el síndrome HOA?

El síndrome de HOA entra en la categoría psiquiátrica de los trastornos de ansiedad. El síndrome se caracteriza por un conjunto de signos y síntomas -indicadores psicofisiológicos- tales como:

·        Sentirse enojado la mayor parte del tiempo
·        cansado y fatigado
·        inquieto
·        en el borde o irritable
·        infeliz en el propio hogar
·        deprimido y triste
·        preocupados
·        nihilista (sin esperanza)
·        sobre o bajo comer
·        trastornos del sueño y/o pesadillas
·        miedo de ir a su propio buzón,
·        paranoia - pérdida de identidad
·        miedo de permitir que los niños jueguen en su propio vecindario
·        Miedo a que le hagan una marca o lo remolquen.
·        estresado
·        dolores y molestias corporales
·        problemas intestinales y/o reflujo ácido
·        pérdida de memoria - rumia obsesiva
·        problemas de la articulación mandibular temporal (TMJ) y/o rechinamiento de los dientes
·        hipervigilancia - agitación
·        miedo a perder la mascota
·        disfunción sexual

¿Qué causa el síndrome HOA?

En la raíz del síndrome HOA está el acoso intencional, longitudinal y metódico. Poco después de que el individuo toma posesión de su propiedad, la HOA estratégicamente comienza a enfocarse en las infracciones menores del propietario, si no inexistentes. El propósito de estos ataques es crear un flujo de ingresos. Este flujo de ingresos llega a los bolsillos de las compañías de administración, agencias de cobranza y abogados, ninguno de los cuales vive dentro de la comunidad que están acosando. Al igual que los parásitos voraces, estas organizaciones se alimentan del acoso basado en el miedo. El dueño de la casa, ahora encerrado en una hipoteca, se siente impotente ante la implacable persecución de la HOA por más y más dinero. En resumen: la evolución del acoso escolar y el robo de dinero para el almuerzo se ha convertido en un comportamiento adulto conocido en el mundo legal como chantaje, explotación financiera y extorsión, y el robo de dinero en el vecindario.

Meet State Representative Daniel A. Perez District 116 - Conozca al Representante Daniel A. Perez del Distrito 116


Meet
State Representative Daniel A. Perez
District 116


We met with newly elected Representative Daniel A. Perez of District 116.

He was the winner of the special election for the seat previously held by José Felix Díaz.

In the last year legislation ¨Pepí” Diaz was a champion for the rights of Condo Owners by enacting major changes to Florida Statute 718 nicknamed Condo “Criminal” Act.

We were very pleased to hear that Representative Perez will continue to work for the rights of Condo and HOA owners to stop condo abuse.

We will continue our discussions with Representative Perez and his staff to make sure that “Special Interest” do not roll back any of the accomplishments of the current laws and to enhance FS 718 and FS 720 to further help the owners.


We welcome a new “champion” for owners rights in Representative Daniel A. Perez.

Les Presentamos al recién elegido
Representante Daniel A. Perez
por el Distrito 116


Nos reunimos con el recién elegido Representante Daniel A. Pérez del Distrito 116.

Fue el vencedor de la elección especial para el escaño anteriormente ocupado por José Félix Díaz.

En la última legislatura "Pepí "Díaz fue un "campeón" por los derechos de los propietarios de condominios al promulgar cambios importantes al Estatuto de Florida 718 apodado Condominio" Criminal "Act.

Nos complació mucho escuchar que el Representante Pérez seguirá trabajando por los derechos de los propietarios de condominios y HOA para detener el abuso de condominios.

Continuaremos nuestras discusiones con el Representante Pérez y su personal para asegurarnos de que los "Intereses Especiales" no retrocedan ninguno de los logros de las leyes actuales y para mejorar FS 718 y FS 720 para ayudar aún más a los propietarios.

Damos la bienvenida a un nuevo "campeón" para los derechos de los propietarios en el Representante Daniel A. Pérez.

 

VOODOO ECONOMICS AND PROPAGANDA

Subject: RE: THE REALITY OF PAVILION CONDOMINIUM. LA REALIDAD. Version in English and spanish.

Good morning.

I received this email twice yesterday.

This email is a good example of “voodoo” economics and it is just propaganda for the coming elections at the Pavilion.    We are ready to refute these numbers.

If FirstService Residential (FSR) is going to be a proxy for the current BOD in the next elections and send these type of emails to all the owners then we demand equal time and that you mail to all owners our messages.

Please. let me know how I can send you our messages so you can email it to all the owners otherwise we need a copy of all the emails of the owners.

By the way, we still are waiting somebody to explain to the owners where the $3,000,000 loss has gone!

Sincerely,


Jorge Rodriguez Suarez

Recommendation for Miami Beach Ballot for the Election on November 7 2017



These two candidates are all in to #StopCondoAbuse!

#VoteGonzalez   78


Gerber is going to win the mayor's office – we reached out to him 
but he ignored us. He does not need our votes!


#NEVERGONGORA of Becker & Poliokoff

We endorse Mark Samuelian for Miami Beach Commission Group 2



Let me again share my position on two of the topics:

1. I strongly support laws that strengthen condo residents rights. I also support the latest revision recently passed by State legislators that increase penalties to condo board members who use their positions to steal from their neighbors. Florida has over 35,000 condo associations and as a recent Miami Herald investigative piece showed many condo associations are very poorly run.

2. Short term rentals. I support the rule of law. I support residents of single family residential neighborhoods who are victimized by illegal "short term party houses". I think property owners should obey our zoning laws. I sympathize with hotel owners who claim they are losing business to illegal and unregulated short term rental operators. I believe our legislators are working on legislation that will clarify short term rentals.

Feel free to share with your group.

Thanks!

Cyber Citizens For Justice, Inc. CHIEF ARBITRATOR JAMES EARL -- NOTHING BUT PREDICTABLE


An Opinion By Jan Bergemann
President, Cyber Citizens For Justice, Inc.
Published August 19, 2017

I have said it all along: Division Chief Arbitrator James Earl is easily predictable. He just loves to put his own "spin" on laws, especially if these laws are new and have not been interpreted yet in a court of law. He obviously feels a lot more important than he really is. In my opinion he is clearly ignoring the wording of the new law regulating the condo recall process.

Remember my Op-Ed dated August 3, 2017 headlined: "WHY DO ATTORNEYS DON'T READ -- OR UNDERSTAND -- NEW LAWS?"

Hand-Delivered Letter to
Mayor Gimenez and Other Officials


August 9, 2017


Mayor Carlos Gimenez

Board of County Commissioners

State Attorney for Miami Dade County Honorable Katherine Fernandez-Rundle

Honorable Harvey Ruvin


To Whom It May Concern,


By way of this letter we are asking the Mayor, Board of County Commissioners, Law Enforcement and the State Attorney’s Office to enforce the new condo law as specified in Chapter 718 of the Statutes of the State of Florida. Your constituents demand that there be ample training for all police departments throughout the County, more informational meetings with law enforcement and the State Attorney’s Office where owner’s concerns can be addressed, and a thorough explanation of how cases will be handled.
We are also requesting that the Mayor and Board of County Commissioners reach out to the Florida Bar to address the abuse of power by attorneys that may be using the legal system to harass and retaliate against owners for asking questions and demanding to see records they have the right to access as contemplated in Chapter 718 of the Statutes of the State of Florida.

We are concerned that special assessments and loans taken arbitrarily by many Associations place a financial hardship on Condo owners that in turn allow these Associations to place a lien on their properties and foreclose on them. Most of the time these special assessments and loans are not spent as told to owners or even necessary.
We need the protection and representation of our elected leaders including our judges who need to stand up for condo owners who are being sued with their own money in our justice system in retaliation for fighting the abuse and neglect. We need Pro Bono Legal Aide to start representing these humble and low income families who are being pushed out of their homes by unscrupulous Boards, Management Companies and the Attorneys that in violation of their oath to justice are the conduits for this fraud. It is not a level playing field.
We look forward to following up with the Mayor and Board of County Commissioners on September 7, 2017 at 9:30 am and speaking about the many cases that have come to Reform Florida’s desk.
REFORM FLORIDA standing up for condo owners’ rights.


Carta Entregada en Mano al
Alcalde Gimenez y a Otros Dirigentes


9 de agosto de 2017

Alcalde Carlos Gimenez
Junta de Comisionados del Condado
Fiscal del Condado de Miami Dade Honorable Katherine Fernandez-Rundle
Honorable Harvey Ruvin

A quien pueda interesar,

Por medio de esta carta pedimos al Alcalde, a la Junta de Comisionados del Condado, a los agentes de la seguridad y a la Oficina del Fiscal del Estado que apliquen la nueva ley de condominios especificada en  el capítulo 718 de los Estatutos de la Florida.

Los votantes  exigen que se entrenen ampliamente a todos los departamentos policiales en todo el Condado, que se lleve a cabo reuniones informativas con la policía y la Oficina del Fiscal del Estado, donde se pueden tratar las preocupaciones de los dueños,  y que se provea una explicación detallada de cómo se gestionarán los casos.

También estamos solicitando que el Alcalde y la Junta de Comisionados de Miami-Dade contacten con el Colegio de Abogados de la Florida para abordar el abuso de poder por los abogados que pueden estar utilizando el sistema legal para acosar y  tomar represalias contra los propietarios por hacer preguntas y exigiendo ver los registros oficiales como está contemplada por el capítulo 718 de los Estatutos de la Florida

Nos preocupa que las derramas extraordinarias y  préstamos tomados arbitrariamente por muchas asociaciones supongan una dificultad financiera para los propietarios de condominios que, a su vez, permiten que estas asociaciones pongan un gravamen (“lien”) sobre sus propiedades y las embarguen. La mayoría de las veces estas derramas extraordinarias y préstamos no se utilizan como se le dice a los propietarios o incluso que sean necesarios.

Necesitamos la ayuda, protección y representación de nuestros líderes electos, incluyendo a nuestros jueces que necesitan defender a los propietarios de condominios que están siendo demandados con su propio dinero en nuestro sistema de justicia en represalia por luchar contra el abuso y la negligencia.

Necesitamos  ayuda legal  Pro Bono para defender a estas familias humildes y de bajos ingresos que están siendo expulsados ​​de sus hogares por Juntas Directivas sin escrupulosos, compañías de gestión de propiedades y los abogados que en violación su juramento a la justicia son los conductos para este fraude.

No es un campo de juego nivelado.

Haremos un seguimiento con el Alcalde y la Junta de Comisionados del Condado el 7 de septiembre de 2017 a las 9:30 am para hablar los muchos casos que han llegado a la atención de Reforma Florida.

REFORM FLORIDA en pie por los derechos de propietarios de condominios.
