HOA disputes in Temple Terrace must first go through pre-suit mediation under FL ยง720.311 before most lawsuits can be filed.
FL ยง720.311 requires pre-suit mediation for disputes involving covenant enforcement, amendments, meetings, elections, and access to records. The demand letter must offer 5 mediators and allow 20 days to respond. If mediation fails or is declined, parties may proceed to court; the prevailing party is entitled to attorneys fees. Recall disputes and election disputes go to binding arbitration through DBPR rather than mediation. HB 919 (2023) added enhanced record access and anti-retaliation protections for members.
