Mirassou Condo seeks new system to collect owners’ fees [South Florida]

Dealing with an ongoing crisis, the company that manages cash-strapped Mirassou Condominium wants to start a blanket receivership system to collect association fees from deadbeat owners.

Concerned residents and their families gathered at the Northwest Dade condominium’s clubhouse for a board meeting Monday evening. An attorney representing property managers talked about the new legal strategy the company wants to adopt to collect assessments.

As budgets continue to worsen in South Florida condo associations, Mirassou’s situation underscores the consequences communities are facing when unit owners enter foreclosure and discontinue paying association fees. Those fees normally cover flood and hazard insurance, maintenance, utilities and garbage collection.
