This is a good first step.

It seems the nosey-est noisiest bully rises to the prez of the HOA then immediately push out all of the other board members. To appoint their gestapo psycophants.

With the aim of punishing and fining all people they don’t like in order to get them to sell and leave.

Or, in some cases, put so many fines and leins on a property that the HOA can take that property or force sale to the HOA.

If you have an HOA with abusive board members, I can almost guarantee you that the biggest problem is not the board itself, but lazy, apathetic homeowners.

I’ve worked in the past for clients who were dealing with HOA issues on major real estate projects. One of them was represented by an attorney who was one of the top condominium law specialists in that state. I’ll never forget what he told me about one of the legal issues they were dealing with at the time: “The easiest and least expensive way to deal with @ssholes on a condo board is to get your fellow owners together and throw the bastards off the board.”
