Florida Faces Condo Crisis as DeSantis Weighs Legislative Action

Governor DeSantis promises relief for condo owners burdened by new safety regulations but delays calling a special legislative session.

New condo safety regulations, enacted after the Surfside collapse, require inspections and repairs by January 1, 2025.
Condo owners face hefty repair costs, with some assessments reaching up to $100,000 per unit.
Governor DeSantis acknowledges the financial strain on residents and is considering low-interest loans to assist with costs.
Despite pressure, DeSantis has not committed to calling a special legislative session, citing the need for well-thought-out solutions.
Legislative leaders emphasize balancing safety with affordability but have rejected early reconvening to address the issue.
