Members Out Of Control
I have written several blogs lately that are about Board conduct. But what about owners' conduct. I receive calls every week from Board members who are dealing with owner misconduct. What kind of things occur? See the following, and I keep thinking I have heard it all, but I am sure I have not.
HOA members should not ... ever ...
**"Get in the face" of a board member or manager or association vendor.
**Attack verbally or physically any board member or other member.
**Threaten other board members or neighbors.
**Ignore rules of the association.
**Disrupt board or membership meetings.
**Visit or call board members about association complaints at their homes (unless invited to do so) and never late at night.
**House dangerous dogs or other dangerous pets.
** Stalk board members, managers or neighbors or association vendors.
** Take it upon themselves to direct association vendors.
**Purposefully interfere with vendors on site trying to do their jobs.
**Take spiteful retaliatory actions because of the idiocy of others.
**Build additions, initiate constructions, sign contracts for, or install items that require architectural approval ... without architectural approval.
These are just a few examples of the things that happen every day in HOAs across the state and, as I hear, across the nation.
