In a major appellate victory, The Mold Lawyers successfully overturned a trial court ruling in the landmark case of McLlenan v. Cypress Chase. The Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled that Florida condominium associations have a non-delegable duty to repair common elements—no matter what caused the damage. This decision affirms that associations cannot refuse repairs simply because water or sewage leaks originate in another unit. If common elements like ceilings, walls, or structural components are damaged, the association must repair them—period. Our firm proudly led the charge to protect condo owners across Florida and secure clarity on this critical legal issue.
