The HOA should consult a real estate attorney immediately. Any "self help" actions by the HOA could have severe consequences: that is, the evicted renter could sue the HOA for constructive eviction.

Leaving eviction to the association only makes the eviction more complicated and costly, since all owners, then, pay the costs associated with the task.

Best practices dictate that the owner be charged with the eviction task, and be fined for every day past the deadline that the errant tenant remains a resident.

In order to charge an owner with eviction, the board must justify abuse of the governing documents by the renter, and have requested that the owner require the renter to conform to them under the threat of eviction.

What do you do when being harassed by your home owners association?

Your home owners association may be requiring you to follow your governing documents. You can ask for a clarification of the violation for which you are being notified. Further, read your governing documents so that you understand the process the board can follow when 'curing' a violation. If you believe that contact from the home owners association is valid 'harassment' -- that you are not in violation of any covenant, condition, regulation, restriction or by-law -- you can involve the police.

Can a Home owners association require home owners to purchase liability insurance other than homeowners insurance?

Your answer depends on the association's motivation for the request. If, for example, you are proposing a major project that can hamper, harm or otherwise use common areas -- including roads and landscape owned by the association -- the association may require that you insure these assets. Your broker and the association's broker can work out the details and concretize the requirement.


Can Home Owner Association charge attorney fees to homeowners for a citation written by a lawyer?

Read your governing documents to determine how the fees should be charged, whether they should be charged to a limited number of owners, or to all owners in the association. Apparently, a citation was required to settle a difference of opinion among owners, or between owners and the board. Yes, this is association business, and yes, the fees should be charged to owners.
