Common Interest Community Managers need to be licensed, and held accountable by licensing agencies. Homeowners are living at the mercy of (inexperienced) volunteer Boards in HOA communities nationwide, paying Real Estate taxes and HOA assessment dues, but no government agency is holding HOA Boards accountable for abuse of power. The HOA model is not working. To-date, HOA communities only benefit Developers, Attorneys and Management Companies. HOA Board members can amend rules, and serve as the judge and jury in kangaroo courts. Most homeowners can’t afford to spend “thousands-of-dollars” to hire an attorney, and straddle other homeowners with increased assessments due to expensive legal battles. Boards know it, and use financial burden as leverage to silence outspoken homeowners. Lack of communications, transparency and selective enforcement of violations is occurring in HOA communities, and Community Managers and Boards are retaliating and bullying homeowners, who question their unethical decisions by being unresponsive and ignoring homeowners. Taxation without Representation should not be happening in HOA communities in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
