Can a board install hurricane shutters on the common elements if some unit owners are opposed to it?
The condominium board, upon approval by a majority of the voting interests in the condominium, may install hurricane shutters and may maintain, repair, or replace the shutters whether on or within the common elements, limited common elements, units, or association property. Condominium: Section 718.113(5), F.S. Cooperative: Not addressed within Chapter 719, F.S. 107. The board has informed me that the cost of cable television service is a common expense. I feel that it is unfair to have to pay for a service that I don’t use. Can I be forced to pay for this service? If provided for in the condominium declaration or cooperative bylaws or by a contract entered into by the board, the cost of a master antenna television system or duly franchised cable television service shall be deemed a common expense. The cost of the service is allocated on a per-unit basis rather than a percentage bases even if the association documents provide for other than equal sharing of common expenses. Any hearing
