Location: Florida
Question: Is there any law in Florida requiring a specific amount of time as official notice before the Association changes the locks (or use a locksmith to gain access) of a condominium unit that refuses to provide the Association with a copy of their key? Most of the units have been reasonable about providing copies, but there are a couple of holdouts, at least one of which is likely to lawyer up and try to get out of it somehow.
Also, seeing as how lack of access can become a serious safety issue (water leak, gas leak, incipient fire, etc.), would failure of the Association to maintain key access to all units possibly be cause of a liability suit, or denial of an insurance claim? (say if a gas leak or fire was detected and damaged the building due to delay in access?)
Thanks!
