posted by Joseph Adams, Florida Condo & HOA Law Blog, March 5, 2014
We have two openings on our Board. Only two people put in their name by the established deadline. Then, two board members, without board approval, asked the management company to send a “second chance letter”, and the management company refused to get involved.

 This week’s word is Ameliorate. Although this word is not commonly used, it’s definition is simple: Make (something bad or unsatisfactory) better. So what does this have to do with Condos?
