    Name changes likely need a vote but it really depends on your governing documents, I’d say. I think you should challenge the board on that. It doesn’t seem right for them to change the name without a vote. I’d also lawyer up if I were you. Not necessarily to sue but just get ready for it. A lawyer will also be able to help you interpret your governing documents. Plus, if your board formed a new HOA and didn’t get consent from homeowners to join, then technically you’re not members of that new HOA, right? It’s kind of a confusing subject. Again, best to get a lawyer.

    While I completely empathize with you (as I have been in your exact position before), the HOA can’t just simply evict your neighbor. There are legal processes in place, and rarely does an HOA have the power to evict a tenant, especially without cause. However, your HOA should absolutely act on your complaint, and perhaps they already have. Violations can take a while. Perhaps your neighbor already received the violation notice and have been fined. Perhaps they are being fined everyday for ongoing violations. It is also possible that the HOA is trying to get in touch with the unit owner/landlord, as the violation might go through them first. These things can take time and don’t just magically resolve overnight.

    I have noticed this too in our condo. People staying at home more is leading to an increase in problems. But it’s not like we can ask them to stop spending time at home or in common areas.

    You already talked about updating your reserve study. That’s a good first step and one that we also took. As for the violations, just enforce them. If you keep enforcing them, owners are going to either a) stop or b) pay the fines or suffer the consequences. That’s just how HOAs work.

    Since the residents in your community feel strongly about this, perhaps you can urge your HOA board to cooperate with the resident-run CSC. It’s hard to do anything if your board won’t budge. Have you tried bringing up this topic at a meeting? Maybe show the board that all the residents are in favor of this? What does your HOA manager have to say?

    I would say that a big drawback is that you have to know a lot about construction to build sheds. If you allow sheds in your HOA, I advise you to require owners to get a professional to build them. No DIYs.

    I am the current treasurer of our association. Volunteering for this position and getting paid for it is a conflict of interest I believe. Most CCR’s are clear about this.

    I agree with profdan_h that this is considered a misappropriation of funds and that you should confront your board about this. Ignoring is the same as allowing it. You should bring up the subject at your next open meeting so that other owners can hear about it too. Then maybe you can get some support and your board will back down.
