Answer:
Hi Steven,
If your HOA is not maintaining the common areas, you have a few options:
1. Submit a complaint to the HOA board or community manager – let them know through a formal complaint. Exhaust all communication methods to show that you have tried to reach out to them as best as you can.
2. Remove one or more HOA board members – to do this in Utah, you may refer to a previously answered question: https://www.
3. Sue the HOA for negligence or breach of fiduciary duty – keep in mind that there is no guarantee you will win your case. Additionally, suing your HOA costs a lot of money and can be time-consuming. You may also need to pay higher dues or special assessments as the HOA tries to make up for legal costs that insurance won’t cover.
