Before jumping straight to a lawsuit, I advise you to resolve this dispute internally first. Talk to the board. They should’ve given you a chance to appear at a hearing to present your case. If that doesn’t work, consider alternative dispute resolution. You can go into a mediation or an arbitration. These options are much more economical and less damaging than a lawsuit. Keep in mind that a lawsuit doesn’t only affect you and the HOA or board. It also affects EVERYONE in your community. All homeowners will suffer from this because they will be the ones paying the dues that will cover the cost of the suit. Lawsuits should be the last resort.
