Two courts have now weighed in on multiple tort claims arising from a parking dispute involving former minor league pitcher Neiman Nix and a Miami Beach condominium association in a case spotlighting potential legal pitfalls for associations and the tenants who lease from their unit owners.

Miami-Dade Circuit Court dismissed Nix's complaint against Club Atlantis Condominium Association Inc. in 2015 after about a year of litigation. But more legal wrangling is in store after a state appellate court Wednesday revived the suit for Nix and his company, DNA Sports Performance Lab Inc.

DNA Sports leased part of a commercial condo at Club Atlantis on Collins Avenue from unit owner RVA International LLC. But it later sued the condo association—not its landlord—over insufficient parking. It claimed it had a memorandum of understanding with the association for seven assigned parking spaces in the property's garage, but the Club Atlantis group allegedly reneged and damaged its ability to do business.
