The individual/Firm is been holding the standard HOA Monthly deposits paid upon closing a new purchased home. That money would normally be paid to the HOA upon becoming active. The practice becomes particularly an issue when responsibilities betwen Association owners and Developers needs to be sorted.
Demand in the form of formal certified letter has been made and ignored to date and therefore the action stands for Civil Theft. The two months deposit amount is small yet greater than $200 and subject to civil theft claim under Florida laws.
No real explanations or excuses has been provided. The purpose of this posting is to compile discovery for a potential class action sue against the individual/firm by other new home owners who may have been victim of the same practice during the period 2009
Civil theft laws provide for triple damages and Attorney fees under Florida Statutes. I believe a closing agent is collecting a fair fee for his service and is not to be tipped.
