More and more media outlets are beginning to take notice of the national HOA Scam/Outrage. The link below is from Kiplinger and it’s worth reading.
Also (hint, hint!). There are rumors that a major newspaper in the Midwest has a killer of an HOA expose’ about to be published! This one is said to be the best of all!

“If you live in a homeowner’s association or condominium association, there is an excellent chance that sooner or later you will find yourself butting heads with those in charge of the HOA, or one of the many attorneys they have on retainer. Left a garbage can out too long? Fined for parking overnight on the street? Fell behind in assessments and now find yourself owing thousands in collection fees? Facing foreclosure because of their accounting error? Woke up one day to find that they sold your house to pay assessments without your knowledge? Had your water shut off for four years? From the mundane to the bizarre, the Anti-HOA Lawyer has seen it all. And fights on the side of the homeowner.
Jonathan Dessaules has aggressively litigated against homeowner associations and condominium associations for more than a decade, defending against HOA lawsuits and, when appropriate, suing HOAs and their lawyers and other agents on behalf of homeowners who find themselves disenfranchised, disadvantaged, or completely under siege.
Secret board meetings, excessive and unreasonable fines, out-of-control boards of directors, financial mismanagement and theft, selective CC&R enforcement, director or manager misconduct, and illegal debt collection practices…we will discuss and dissect it all.”
