A quick search on Trellis shows that “Southern Cat Inc” is the plaintiff in five open Florida lawsuits filed in the past 20 months:
Date | Plaintiff | Defendant |
June 10, 2021 | Southern Cat Inc | Holiday Shores Condominium Association Inc |
August 20, 2021 | Southern Cat Inc | Funtanta Village Inc | Spinnaker lii of Panama City Beach, Inc. |
September 02, 2021 | Southern Cat Inc | Mariner East Owners Association Inc |
February 09, 2022 | Southern Cat Inc | Largo Mar Condominimum Association, Inc. |
February 10, 2023 | Southern Cat Inc | Summerhouse of Panama City Condominium Association |
It appears that many of these cases involve a breach of contract where the condo association decided not to pay Southern Cat, Inc., and they are challenging their invoices.
Is this a red flag to consider when deciding who will repair our community?
It’s important that regardless of who we choose to restore our community, we should research their reputation and past work on repair projects.
This involves getting reviews from other associations that have been repaired, checking with regulatory agencies to see if there have been any complaints, and thoroughly reviewing their current and past legal issues.
