Knowledge is power and this survey will be given to the legislators in an attempt to try getting laws made to protect homeowners. The current industry is slanted in favor of the HOAs and Managers.

HOA boards are generally comprised of busy-body personalities who have chips on their shoulders and desire power over others. Their fragile egos perceive dissent as a personal affront. Very few have the business and/or community service experience that should be required in order to represent the best interests of the community as a whole. This issue, and numerous others, exist in most HOAs.

Municipaliities continue to create HOAs because they are lucrative—for some—primarily cities, developers, property management companies, HOA attorneys, and industry trade groups and lobbyists. Not homeowners. Follow the money.

These conflicts line industry players’ coffers. The HOA industry needs reform and oversight if it should remain at all. Homeowners have the right to peaceful enjoyment of their property and to consumer protection from abusive HOAs.
