In my experience, communication is key. I’d suggest reaching out to those who are late, either through a letter or an informal conversation. Sometimes it’s a matter of personal circumstances, and showing empathy can lead to a solution without it becoming a bigger issue. But I agree with earlh0808, having a system of late fees in place can motivate people to pay on time!

I’d look into a lawyer then, in that case.

I totally get where you’re coming from. I left my HOA a few years ago, and it’s been such a relief. First, check your HOA bylaws – they usually outline the process for leaving. Often, it involves a vote among members. Make sure you understand any financial obligations or penalties. Communicate your concerns with neighbors; you might find others who feel the same. Good luck!

Most definitely. But if you have a good and honest manager, it shouldn’t be a problem.

While I understand your concerns, it’s completely normal for the board to delegate this type of thing to a professional. Vendor payments can be very exhausting to keep up with, especially if your board consists of full-time employees. Missing a payment might cut off your services, and that’s no good for your HOA.

It really depends on the HOA. Our board only gives the management company permission to withdraw $500 at a time. That’s the limit. Anything beyond that would need approval from the board. And they’re limited to like one withdrawal a day or something like that.

$250 ain’t that bad for a move in fee if you ask me
I’ve seen many other HOA’s that charge $500 and up
I would just pay the fee if I were you

If you don’t mind me asking OP how much is the move in fee?

I’m not entitled. It’s a perfectly reasonable request. I just want to know if they’re going to take care of our association.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable a tall. If they have an employee with ah istory of fraud or criminal activity, I think we have a right to know. We don’t want a management company if it comes with a higher risk of financial dishonesty.

There is no industry standard per se. Your bylaws should tell you exactly how often you should conduct board meetings.

Not that I know of… but it’s probably best to just get their permission anyway

I know gates have pros and cons but you also have to consider the way your community is set up. In a previous HOA I lived in, we only had the one entrance/exit so putting a gate there gave us a big headaches. When the gate failed, we had no way of getting in and out.
