We’re going to need a little more info from you here. Do you live in a condo or a single-family community? Are you an owner or a renter? As much info as possible would be useful.

There’s actually a good article about that here: https://www.cedarmanagementgroup.com/pickleball-in-hoa/

Worth checking out

I generally don’t recommend jumping to litigation for this type of thing. Resolving such a dispute INTERNALLY is always better than going straight to court. Lawsuits are expensive (for both parties involved) and they unnecessarily pull other owners into the mess. Plus, you won’t actually be suing “the system” or something like that. When you sue the HOA, you’re really suing yourself and your fellow homeowners. You’re the ones who have to pay in the end because the fees are coming FROM YOU.

It depends on where you live and what your bylaws say. A lot of HOA’s I manage require candidates to be in ” good standing ” which means they must be uptodate on all their dues and not have exisitng violations.

That sounds awful! It looks like you have a pretty inefficient HOA.

Try doing a survey. Ask residents if they have any ideas that could improve the community. You’ll see from there who really has an interest and the drive. Then you can approach them one by one to see if they would wanna run for a position.

We are in the process of disbanding our HOA but have run into quite a conundrum. According to the city, we have an agreement with them to maintain the common areas perpetually. We want to disband but we can’t dispose of our common areas because of this “agreement” with the city. If we disband, then the city would have an agreement with an organization that no longer exists, which begs the question, “Who now owns the common areas?”

Anyway, I hope you get to disband yours, OP. Best of luck.
