Our HOA community has a major gossip problem. People are spreading rumors about board decisions, and it’s creating drama at meetings. What can the board do to stop this?

You can’t stop gossip entirely, but you can combat it with transparency. Post clear updates on decisions and policies in a newsletter or online portal.

Our board started hosting monthly Q&A sessions to cut down on misinformation. It’s helped a lot! People love to feel informed.

I like the Q&A idea. Do you think we should address specific rumors directly, or will that just fuel more drama?

If it’s a persistent rumor that’s causing harm, address it publicly in a factual way. Otherwise, focus on sharing positive news about the community.

Another option is to implement a code of conduct for members. It sets expectations and gives you leverage to discourage harmful gossip.
