Condos get new life as rentals


A modified Florida law making it easier to dissolve condominium associations has led to a number of condos being converted back into rental apartments, especially in the state's suburban areas, according to the Sun Sentinel. "Most people see this as a way out because it should not have been a condo in the first place," said Jennifer Drake, an attorney for Becker & Poliakoff in Fort Lauderdale. At least 36 condos in Broward and Palm Beach counties have been changed back into apartments in the last three years, according to a report from Condo Vultures. But the movement is finding opposition. "I don't want to live in a rental community; that's why I bought a condo," said William Bush, a board president in Weston. "I think people would be dead-set against it."
