Legal Question in Mediation in Florida

Before a board files to foreclose on a condo, is mediation required to be attempted to settle the situation, and, what if anything else is required by a law-office before they file to foreclose on a condo on behalf of the board,

also, is it legal for the board to tow a car/etc, from the property of the condos, any car that is owned by a condo owner that owes money to the board for ex: maintenance fees-etc.?

Mediation may be mandated by the court or an arbitrator or by the contract itself. No one here knows your contract or litigation situation.

If a court orders seizure of property, then yes on the car. But, otherwise, hell no. Well, unless it is in violation of the condo assn agreement, then the vehicle could be towed. But, to recover owed fees, no, not without a court order.
