Question:

Can we sue the HOA to get them dissolved?

Answer:

If you live in a condominium or neighborhood that has a Homeowner’s Association (HOA), you can enjoy a wide array of perks and privileges. For one, you can be assured that your place of resident would stay in good condition, as the HOA would make sure that everyone living in the vicinity follows a certain set of rules and regulations that contribute to peace, order, and cleanliness. However, there are cases when homeowners and the association do not see eye to eye. One example of such scenario is when a homeowner disobeys the HOA rules. Before one moves in to the neighborhood or condominium, he/she will be asked to sign a contract that certifies that the homeowner agrees to obey all the rules stipulated in the document. If the homeowner disobeys one of the rules stated, for example, fails to maintain property as accorded in the agreement signed, a homeowner may face HOA lawsuits.

Another common scenario would be when a homeowner is not happy with the way the HOA runs or manages the place. If the association imposes rules or decisions that a homeowner thinks are contrary to the agreement signed previously, a homeowner has the option to sue the association. If the homeowner has a strong case against the HOA or the HOA has a grave offense, it is possible that the court will rule for dissolution of the organization. A new set of board members will form a new HOA and new set of rules will be formulated.
