You know what is worse than living with a HOA? Running one. I live in a small townhouse complex. Just a dozen units. Nobody wants to be HOA president but we legally need one. I've been de facto forced to run the HOA. It is a joyless thankless task. The number of times I've had to deal with improperly dumped furniture or the city inspector demanding fire extinguisher inspections in insane! My next house will be in a hoa-free area So i can avoid having to work for free.
- londons_explore 5y agoCan you just be HOA president and route all emails about it to the Trash? Postpone all HOA meetings indefinitely... Let all requests go to voicemail, etc... If anyone accosts you about HOA matters in the street say "I think that's best bought up after the next HOA presidential election"
- dragonwriter 5y ago> Nobody wants to be HOA president but we legally need one. Usually, there's a process to change the rules or extinguish the HOA by majority vote. If no one thinks it is important enough to be worth running, extinguishment sounds like a good idea. Not volunteering for the job would probably help move that process along. > My next house will be in a hoa-free area So i can avoid having to work for free. Most HOA’s have plenty of people willing to fill leadership positions (and then hire an HOA management company to do virtually all the actual work.)
