Harassing the HOA
My mother’s HOA had some pretty interesting characters. About ten years into living in this small community, my mother decided to run for their board to try to get some community improvements done. There was an older woman in the neighborhood that was well known for being extremely bossy.
She claimed that she knew the community money wasn’t being saved or spent properly. Like most HOAs, ours had a standard for how front yards looked, what could be planted in them, limits on things such as the colors of the house, doors, and trim, and what you could add to the house and yard.
She was harassing the board and the community by phone, and by mail. She stored trash in their yard and planted invasive species of plants. To top it off, this family hadn’t made one HOA payment and owed about $7,000. When the board found out, they banned them from all meetings. Story credit: Reddit
