HOAs are infamously known for their ability to create rules they cannot follow themselves.

An HOA is to one of its residents as a vulture is to a worm. This is to say that HOAs view their residents as fuel to help them continue doing what they're doing, which is a whole lot of nothing. But who catches that? The resident featured in the next story catches it and is immediately reprimanded for it.

Let's imagine that an HOA board wrote up a process where a new executive board, including the president's role, switches to new hands every year. The board votes, the residents have a say, and the whole thing. Voting was postponed for particular reasons, but rest assured, HOAs insist that everyone should be a rule-follower, so you're not worried about the possibility of a tyrannical president trying to remain "in office".

You should have been worried. This is what happens when you give the wrong person too much power. An HOA president is not qualified for a role in a real government, so this is the next best thing. It's like when somebody is assigned group project leader. Say goodbye to your free will, friend.

  • "Kicked out of the HOA meeting for pointing out the acting Presidents term has expired..."

    The Board skipped our required annual meeting that was supposed to take place December 19th per our documents.

  • In October 2025, the Board stated that 2 of the 3 community seats were up for election at the end of the year as we always hold elections at the annual meeting.

  • Additionally, our documents state that elected directors only hold their titles (president, vp and treasurer) for a term of one year and that titles are voted on at the first meeting following the annual meeting.
    via My_Three_Plus_Me
  • That being said, Board title terms have expired for all seats now, along with the terms of 2 board seats that were supposed to be elected at the annual meeting that was skipped.

  • This has left us with 1 rogue Board member who is still acting under the title of President although the term for the title has expired.

  • The "President" scheduled a meeting for January 9th. At the meeting Owners were informed that the community not longer has a management company...

  • Turns out they gave notice on November 20th & the Board kept it a secret. The "President" held this meeting without a proper quorum and was taking owner input on "Approval to hire a new management company"...

  • It seems so backwards to enter a legal binding contract with a managment company when there isnt even a valid Board per our documents.
    via My_Three_Plus_Me
  • I also found it absurd that they didnt show up to the meeting with ANY quotes for services after over a month of knowledge that they didn't have a management company...
    via My_Three_Plus_Me
  • So... I spoke up about the concerns during my turn as I attend the meeting as an owners representative for my neighbor.

  • was immediately booted... My partner attends meetings for our Unit & when he brought up these concerns he was also booted.

  • It's funny, isn't it? When a resident actually wants to abide by the rules set forth by the Powers That Be, they are effectively booted from any community engagement. Why?

    If those in power can't benefit from the rules, they change them or forfeit them entirely. I'm sure there are plenty of instances you can read up on that follow the same gameplan at work, in life, or most scarily, in an HOA.

    Why anyone wants to join an HOA is beyond me, but I'm just a silly renter, not a homeowner. What the heck do I know about assets?

  • We still have no idea when an election will be & no mention of a selected managment company Thankfully we have an AMAZING attorney.

  • Things are coming together on our side to finally hold them accountable but waiting for resolve to a tyrannical HOA is exhausting!

  • Blathermouth Sounds like your board no longer has any legal authority.

  • My_Three_Plus_Me Correct! But you best believe they will continue to act as if they do ✔

  • Ohberon How were you kicked out by people who had no authority?
    via 0hberon
  • My_Three_Plus_Me They held the meeting through their Microsoft teams account, which granted them the authority to kick out whomever whenever.

  • Ok_Muffin_925 Why do so many HOA annual meetings get written into Declarations for the week before Christmas? Hmmmm... let me guess...... It's so they can expect maximum attendance in perpetuity???!!!??. Nope: just the opposite.
