Fontainebleau Hotel's rules could cause
`economic disaster,' condo owners say
CBS News Miami
The Fontainebleau
Hotel is facing a lawsuit
from condo owners who
claim new rules goveming
unit rentals have the po-
tential to financially ruin
them.
"The clock is ticking,"
said David Haber, the
attorney representing six
condo owners in the Fon-
tainebleau Hotel's Tresor
and Sorrento towers. "Our
clients are facing the
potential of economic
disaster."
The dispute centers on
owners
who rent
out suites
and junior
suites for
profit Al-
though the
hotel man-
ages serv-
ices like
check in
housekeeping and park-
ing, it also runs an in-
ternal rental program.
That program requires
participating owners to
share 55% of gross reve-
nue, plus $180 a day and
taxes, according to the
lawsuit.
While the hotel allows
unit owners to opt out of
the rental program, a
2012 agreement reported-
ly permits those owners to
do so "without interfer-
ence, restriction, limita-
tion, fee or cost imposed
by the hotel," the lawsuit
states.
However, updated rules
set to go into effect on May
15 require owners who opt
out to pay $1,000 for each
night of a guest's stay,
according to the lawsuit.
This charge leaves owners
who opt out with little to
no profit, Haber said, not-
ing that a one -bedroom
ocean view unit on the
hotel's website rents for
between $875 and $1,902 a

$1,000 for each night of a guest's stay, according to the lawsuit. This charge leaves owners who opt out with little to

night in May.
The new rules also
force opt -out owners to
pay extra for sheets and
towels and hire their own
housekeepers, who are
not allowed to work on
weekends.
"They're going to force
the owners to have a rep-
resentative sitting at the
front desk to check
(guests) in rather than the
hotel front desk checking
them in, which was the
way of doing business
prior to these proposed
rules," Haber said.
Haber is asking for an
immediate injunction,
hoping a Miami -Dade
County judge will perma-
nently block the changes.
He argues the changes are
intended to "force the
owners to go back into
their (rental) program,
which is exactly the oppo-
sition of what the settle-
ment agreement that they
entered into said."
The lawsuit also names
the condo associations for
both the Tresor and Sor-
rento towers and de -
ands they join the com-
plaint.

than a year earlier.
The January report fol-
lows the annual "bench -
marking" process at the
state and federal level that
includes a revision of
historical data.
Even with the revisions,
the U.S. Department of
Labor noted that Florida
was the only state with
any unemployment rate
change in January.
The national rate cur-
rently stands at 4.3%,
reflecting mid -March
conditions. A year earlier,
the U.S. rate was at 4%.
Florida's rate Was at
3.7% in July and has now
grown in five consecutive
reports. There was no
October report due to a
federal govemment shut-
down.
The healthcare sector is
adding the most jobs,
gaining 38,000 over the
last 12 months.
Manufacturing, up by
4,300 over the month,
had an increase of 800
positions over the past
year.
In the area of trade,
transportation, and Util-
ities, the number of jobs
was down 6,200 for the
year. But While retail lost
14,700 positions, whole-
sale trade jobs were up
2,700 for the year and
transportation, ware-
housing, and utilities jobs
we
re up 5,800.
Also, under f ancial
activities, all 9,200 posi-
tions lost in the past year
were in finance andinsur-
ance. There was no
change reported in jobs
tied to real estate.
Among the decline in
leisure and hospitality
jobs, 17,000 were tied to
hotels and food service
jobs. Jobs involving arts,
entertainment and recre-
ation were up 12,900 over
the year.
The state also reported
that while local govem-
ments added 3,000 work-
ers in the past year, state
govemment jobs declined
by2,100 and positions
with the federal govem-
ment were down 12,500.
For the metropolitan
regions across the state,
the Miami -Fort Lauder-

area maintains the lowest
unemployment rate at

Woman stabs her
boyfriend after
fight over
Valentine's Day
gift, deputies say
BY .LEKA LAVER
mmalaver@mim heraldeam
A woman nearly stabbed
her boyfriend to death
after an argument over a
Valentine's Day gift, ac-
cording to the Miami -Dade
Sheriff's Office. She's
locked up on no bond.
The couple got into a
Valentine's Day fight,
which escalated when
Bentoria King, 36, armed
herself with a "silver
homemade lmife" and
attacked her boyfriend,
detectives wrote in her
arrest affidavit. Parts of the
attack at Northwest 51st
Street and 21st Avenue
were recorded on CCTV
and cellphone footage.
The man had puncture
wounds to his neck, back,
top of his head and behind
an ear, deputies say. He
was taken to Ryder Trau-
ma Center by Miami Fire
Rescue.
Deputies say King took
off on a bicycle.
Nearly two months after
the stabbing, King was
found at Stay America
Premier Suites in Dorel
and taken into custody.
She admitted to being in
an "alteration" with her
boyfriend but denied stab-
bing him. She was charged
with attempted murder.
On Friday, a judge is-
sued her no bond, and she
remains locked up at Turn-
er Guilford Knight Correc-
tional as of Saturday. She
is being represented by a
public defender.

Israel was not involved in

at home over the cease-

kept up deadly attacks on
southern Lebanon, in-
cluding on Sunday morn-

had accused Israel of
breaking the ceasefire by
continuing to attack in
Lebanon, leading Trump
to ask Israel to rein in its
assault. The Israeli and
Lebanese ambassadors to
the United States are
expected to meet in
Washington next week for
rare direct talks.

1,701 civilians, including
254 children, had been

TRUMP
people treat him like one
of the prizefighters when
he walks into the room.
After a week spent
largely out of sight but
lashing out at his enemies
on vial media, Trump's
surfacing at a match
vidrued designed to pro-
e him with a soothing
balm of male aggression,
musky sweat and cheer-
ing supporters — not un-
like one of his political
rallies, just with shirtless
fighters.
Round after round,
fight after fight, Trump
watched as pairs of com-
petitors sparred in a cage
covered in ads for Mon-
ster energy drinks, assort-
ed crypto and betting
sits, and Bud Light beer.
The floor was stained
with splotches of dried
blood from the first math
of the evening, when a
fighter took a hard hit to
the forehead.
At one point, the "Mor-
tal !Combat" theme song
played as Rubio and the
president leaned in to
speak to each other. At
another, the arena crowd
watched an advertise-
ment for a U!C fight
scheduled at the Whit
House this summer. "his-
tory is made by revolu-
tionary ideas" was one
tagline from the commer-
cial, which featured sev-
eral exterior shots of the
Whit House.
Trump's eldest daugh-
ter, Ivanka, and younger
daughter, Tiffany, kept
close throughout the
evening, as did Donald
Trump Jr., the president's
eldest son, and his fan
Bettina Anderson.
The Trumps stood and
posed for photos with
supporters who ap-
proached them, waved
their fists, and at tines
threw back their heads in
laughter. One family
ember missing was
Ivanka Trump's husband,
Jared Kushner, who was
in Pakistan with Vance
and Trump's peace envoy,
Steve Witkoff.
At the moment Vance
began biiefnng the news
media in Pakistan, Trump
was standing still at the
side of the cage with his
hands at his sides as a
winning fighter cheered.
He and Rubio were look-
ing up toward a large
screen and watching a
video montage of the
fighter's greatest hits as
Vance said, "the bad
news is that we have not
reached an agreement"
hi Pakistan, Vance did
not say if the Strait of
Hormuz would be open
for oil traffic to pass
through. White House
officials did not answer
questions about whether a
shaky ceasefire with Teh-
ran hold. They all
deferred to rump to de-
cide what was next.
As the night grew late
Saturday and the war
once again seemed poised
tospin out of Trump's
control, the vice president
departed Pakistan without
n agreement. The presi
dent stayed seated in
Miami, his eyes trained
on the men punching and
kicking each other in a
bloodstained cage.
