What is the Condo Craze blog?
Condo Craze & HOAs publishes articles about Florida community association issues for owners, board members, managers, and others involved in condominium and HOA governance.
Attorney Eric M. Glazer’s description of the blog identifies legislative updates, practical tips, and interpretations of statutory changes as part of its focus. The article archive can be searched by keywords and topics.
The wider website also provides show episodes and education announcements. Its current program includes on-demand video discussions of Florida condominium and HOA issues.

Why board members may find it useful
Directors often learn best when a topic connects to a decision they actually face. Reading a clear discussion can help identify questions, clarify unfamiliar terms, and recognize when professional advice is needed.
Build your understanding
Use relevant articles to become more comfortable with association governance and its terminology.
Recognize issues early
Look for questions that may deserve attention before the board encounters a dispute or deadline.
Prepare for advice
Bring a specific question and the relevant documents to your manager or attorney.
Keep learning together
Share a link and a short explanation of why it matters, rather than treating a headline as a complete answer.
Better questions lead to better boards.
A practical way to use the blog
- Choose an issue. Start with a matter your association is reviewing, such as a meeting procedure, maintenance decision, or owner question.
- Search the archive. Try a few related keywords and review the article titles and dates.
- Read the full article. Look beyond the headline for context, qualifications, and the type of association discussed.
- Identify what needs verification. Note the law or document provision involved and what may differ in your association.
- Decide on a useful next step. Ask for clarification, review a policy, or put an appropriate item on a meeting agenda.
If the blog layout changes, start at the official home page and follow its Blog or news links.

Florida condominium and HOA laws differ. A discussion about an HOA should not automatically be applied to a condominium. Older articles can also describe requirements that have since changed.
Is it current? Is it about Florida condominiums? What source supports it? Does it fit our governing documents and facts?
Distinguish enacted law from a proposed bill, a court decision, professional interpretation, and opinion. A reader comment is not the same as the article author’s analysis or an official source.
Does reading the blog count as board certification?
Do not assume it does. General articles and show episodes are supplemental learning. If you are considering an advertised course or seminar for required education, confirm its current approval, applicable condominium requirements, duration, and completion certificate.
Does it replace the association’s attorney?
No. A public article does not review your association’s full documents, history, or circumstances. Use it to prepare questions and understand issues, then obtain association-specific advice when needed.
Verify a legal update before changing a procedure
- Identify the source and status. Record the article date, bill or statute number, and whether it describes a proposal, enacted law, court decision or the author’s interpretation.
- Check timing. Look for the effective date and any transition provisions. A recent article may discuss a future change; an older article may describe a requirement that has since changed.
- Check the community type. Confirm whether the discussion addresses condominiums, cooperatives or HOAs. Do not transfer an HOA procedure to a condominium without verification.
- Compare your association’s records. Locate the governing provision, current policy and relevant facts. List what is clear and what needs professional interpretation.
- Assign the next action. Ask counsel or the appropriate professional a focused question, then use the applicable board process to adopt and document any change.
Use the reading note below to keep the verification questions together. For a specific legal issue, follow the guide to preparing questions for association counsel.

These are suggested search terms and Board Synergy pathways, not a catalog of verified blog articles or a summary of the provider’s legal conclusions.
| Search topic | Related Board Synergy resource | Question to bring back |
|---|---|---|
| Board roles and conflicts | Director roles · Conflicts of interest | Who has authority, and what disclosure or follow-up is needed? |
| Meetings and records | Meetings & Records · Records inspections | Which notice, documentation or access procedure should we verify? |
| Budgets and reserves | Finances & Reserves | How does the topic relate to our actual funding and building obligations? |
| Rule enforcement | Enforcement obligations | What authority, evidence and process apply to this case? |
| Document changes | Document review · Amendment process | What problem needs solving, and which approvals must counsel confirm? |
| Management and vendors | Management & Vendors · Contracts | What scope, service standard or contract provision needs review? |
| Maintenance responsibilities | Common and limited common elements | What does our declaration say about the element and responsibility? |
Turn a useful article into a board discussion
The following is a suggested Board Synergy exercise, not a Condo Craze program:
| Record | What to include |
|---|---|
| Source | Article title, author, publication date, and link. |
| Main idea | One or two sentences in your own words. |
| Association question | The specific issue you want to verify. |
| Follow-up | Who should respond, what documents are needed, and the next action. |
Share links rather than republishing complete articles. Keep board discussions and decisions within applicable meeting procedures. Educational interest does not automatically make a discussion of association business exempt from those requirements.
Learning becomes valuable when it improves the next decision.
Part of a broader learning toolbox
Combine outside education with your governing documents, official Florida sources, Board Synergy resources, and qualified professional guidance. Different resources can explain a topic in different ways; verify the requirements before acting.
