This sounds like the board is trying to avoid accountability. Pre-screened questions let them cherry-pick what to answer. Owners deserve the chance to speak directly.

Our HOA charges a small late fee after a certain grace period, and we make it clear in the bylaws that late payments will result in a fine. That way, homeowners know there are consequences. But we also try to offer payment plans for those going through tough times. It’s important to be firm but understanding.

Hi Earl. It really depends on your state laws. Some states aren’t very specific about what HOAs can and can’t divuge to members. Most of the time, members can request such records, but the board can’t provide them to third parties. Membership lists are common.

We do allow proxy votes but people still don’t send theirs in. Homeowner interest and participation has been a real problem as of late

This is actually the 1st time we’ve had this problem. People just don’t seem to be as interested in the community as they once were

I just want EVERYTHING to stop. All of it. No doorbells and no violations. They’re not even that serious.

I don’t think it’s gone to that extent yet but we just want him to stop.

But don’t you agree that it’s borderline harassment when your neighbor knocks on your door every day and tells you to mow your lawn because you’re breaking a rule?

He’s literally harassing us every week with their reports. They are not even important rule violations. No one made any significant architectural changes or is using their house as a place of business. It’s crazy!

If that owner really insists and your attorneys feel he/she has a case, then I advise you to go ahead with the removal. You can always re-elect the Canadian anyway now that he’s a real homeowner.

Maybe you can try talking to your president first before going straight to removal. If he/she was the only person who ran for the seat, won’t you have a hard time filling the vacancy if you remove him/her?

How’s your president bad at his job exactly?

As far as I know, the Capital Contribution doesn’t need to be revealed at closing. Your agent or attorney should have definitely given you all the documents, but buying into an HOA requires due diligence on your part as well. If that resolution was passed a year ago, it should be in the association’s governing documents (which you should have read) that were given to you.
