Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Re: Real Estate

The quick answer to this question is yes, but. However, many Condominiums restrict use of condos to residential purposes. Some may restrict the form of ownership. Generally, a prospective purchaser must be approved by the Condominium Board. Additional restrictions on lease terms and length are also common. A review of the Condominium documents would be required to answer the question accurately.

Generally, the answer is yes. An interview of the members may be required by the Association in order to be approved as an owner. Some Associations may place further restrictions on ownership which a careful reading of the condominium documents would reveal.
