| Question/Topic: |
Is there a FL state government office that regulates
management companies? Specifically, management companies
that are contracted by homeowners' associations to act on
their behalf. Where would one check on the previous
history of a management company and with whom would one
register a complaint if they believed a management company
had not met its obligations (by contract and/or
state/federal law)?
