I am about to post my own rip off report regarding an HOA I fought with for 4.5 years. There needs to be legislation passed to protect homeowners and to keep HOA's from ripping people off. Sen. Tom Freestone of Arizona was trying to pass a bill that would limit the power of HOA's but it didn't pass. I have a doozy for you. Check back on this site.

They filed the following rebuttal to the above Rip-Off Report: Their name: BH Their relationship to the company: Consumer Suggestion Rebuttal: I rented a condo for over 5 years and renters have absolutely NO rights, that included attendance at assn. meetings. If the guy your renting from is a good sort he will stick up for you with the assn., if not you have had it. Your making a major mistake by not being represented by an attorney. He might charge you an initial $200 to write a letter to the assn. but it would be money well spent and it WILL get attention as the assn. will have to refer this to their own attorney who will of course charge them, thus hitting them in the pocket and the officers of the assn. & other owners will also notice that the Pres (etc) of the assn. is costing them money as their atty. has to be paid out of the monthly assn. fees that all owners pay. You will only get attention via your own atty, don't even think of small claims court without getting an atty's opinion of how/if you should proceed.
