Emergency Meeting!

guest blog by Nila Ridings

I think this HOA should have called it a memorial service not an emergency meeting. The money is already gone.

The checks have been written to credit card companies, a mortgage lender, and relatives of the culprit. She’s lawyered up and ready to fight her neighbors after stealing their money! Will this be another case of the HOA members paying for the legal representation of the accused thief?

I’ve literally seen so many of these stories about HOA board members or property managers stealing the HOA funds, I’m not shocked anymore. I feel no sensitivity about it. I used to feel angry but no longer do. Proof that too much of one thing becomes ordinary and expected, I guess.

Get ready for some more of those severe court-ordered sentences of 20 hours of community service!

    A previous property manager stole money from our community. According to an ex-board member the community was not told about this. They were only told that the board made a “bad investment.” This same ex-board member quit when his request that our community change management companies instead of just being assigned a new property manager from the same company went unheeded. Had I known that before I purchased there, I would not have purchased there.
