Answer:

Hi Nicole,

Kindly check the governing documents for verification. It may outline the HOA’s specific responsibilities regarding property damage due to stray animals or wildlife. The HOA may be liable because the beavers are residing in the HOA’s property. They may also be held liable if there was negligence on the association’s part to control wildlife. However, it’s best to seek professional advice from a lawyer for clarification and guidance.
