[RPPTL-constructionlaw] FW: RPPTL - draft of Florida FairForeclosure Act - request for comments

Thu Aug 11 15:25:23 PDT 2011

Ok, maybe I'm a terrible person for responding to the entire list about this, but Jerry Aron's email address wasn't visible in the message--This bill contains two things that I think are egregious--1) making it legal to foreclose on property without a judicial sale, in which case the poor mortgagor would lose his equity (probably without being able to read the notice the bank would inform him with), and 2) repealing §57.105.  

Everyone needs to be informed of this.  Who is looking to get rid of §57.105, and why?  Who wants to take owners' equity?

Kindly circulate the attached draft to your members immediately and ask them to review it and offer any comments or revisions they may have.  Please compile these comments and revisions and email them to Jerry Aron no later than the close of business on August 18, 2011.  Jerry's email address is jaron at aronlaw.com.  We understand that this is a fast track but the Ad Hoc committee will be meeting on August 19th to discuss the comments and submit any changes to Rep. Passidomo shortly thereafter.
