⚖️ "When the HOA Breaks Its Own Rules"

It’s easy to assume that your HOA knows what it’s doing. Until it doesn’t.

Boards are bound by their own documents—and by state law. But too often, they skip steps: voting in secret, denying due process, spending outside the budget.

Examples include:

• Not sending proper notice of meetings

• Fining without a hearing

• Approving contracts without bids

• Holding elections improperly

If your board isn’t following its own rules, you have the right to:

• Request records

• Demand procedural compliance

• File a complaint

• Call for a recall or vote of no confidence

They’re not the government. They don’t get to operate above the law.
