'They have lost over half of their contracts': HOA board member discovers shady behavior from management company, protects homeowners with petty payback
Every so often, you come across a story where a board member of a local HOA actually turns out to be a three-dimensional human with a soul and a conscience. If this story serves as any indication, sometimes it really only takes one good person to uncover silly systemic issues, to identify real solutions to try and fix said silly systemic issues, and to essentially get something done.

Here, we have an HOA board member who discovered that the management company their board partners with was using an ethically questionable loophole to slap a ton of fines onto homeowners. It got so bad that one homeowner showed up to a board meeting to plead his case for the board not to foreclose on his home. It turns out he had the money to pay the unnecessary fines, but the management company used a petty technicality to bar him from paying them. In the meantime, they kept piling on more each and every day.
This enraged the Redditor, who then found a loophole of his own and learned that if the management company lost the business of the HOA, essentially he could make it so that all pending fines could not be recouped by the company after terminating the contract. Furthermore, OP ensured that the company lost business with virtually all of his peers in the area. Again, we rarely see instances of HOA members being upstanding citizens, so when we do come across one, we better soak it in.
