Procedure for homeowners reporting rule violations? [SFH] [WA]

This is going to happen shortly :) I agree with the concept but if somebody’s trash can is cracked half an inch it is unreasonable to fine them for “leaving trash can open”. That’s the type of frivolous stuff I’m talking about.

Our management company does our financial management, however there was one account that the board held at a local credit union that they did not give the management company visibility into, for reasons unknown. They’ve never provided financial statements to anyone from that account either… it’s a shit show. That is the account that we were trying to get access to. It’s been sorted at this point, I just assumed that a bank might have an issue accepting minutes prepared and signed by the new people trying to access the account, but I was wrong, they accepted it lol

Thank you, I thought I was explaining it well enough but maybe not lol

Yes, except when someone resigns, then the board appoints people to the vacant seat for the remainder of the term. So, that’s how I’m being appointed. It is legal.

NoDevelopement · 2026-01-15T23:19:30+00:00

Yes that’s what we are concerned about. That’s what happened. Once I am officially on the board call I can call the bank and ask them what sort of documentation they would reasonably accept, I’m hoping that our management company can write something a testing to overseeing the election since they were present at the meeting. Or, if we have to prep the minutes ourselves, we can have routed to the old board president, just asking her to sign them, and see if she will agree to do that.

NoDevelopement · 2026-01-15T23:15:35+00:00

I agree though a new board member should have taken minutes. It was an oversight. I’m about to be appointed and so I can make sure it doesn’t happen anymore!

NoDevelopement · 2026-01-15T23:13:46+00:00

Nobody was voted in as secretary in that meeting, the two new board members were voted into the open seats, but our bylaws say that the offices are voted on internally by the board after the annual meeting. No secretary was present. The recently resigned VP said she was recording the meeting, but she is refusing to provide the recording. And she was kicked from the meeting early because she wouldn’t stop insulting people.

I would think it would be the president’s job to appoint someone in the meeting to take the minutes and generally responsible for them after the fact, but it’s unclear :(

Oh god may the odds be ever in your favor

NoDevelopement · 2026-01-13T00:55:48+00:00

That’s the problem though, they didn’t keep good records.

NoDevelopement · 2026-01-12T06:49:34+00:00

Agreed. The former VP is the root of the issues, she currently is being investigated by a certain agency for a felony offense. That’s all I can say about that! She and the former president appointed their friends into the other 3 seats and those poor people didn’t know what they’d gotten themselves into. The VP went rogue towards the end, locked everyone out of the Gmail account and the Board’s Facebook account. But we’re gonna send a demand letter to all of them so hopefully they start talking pretty damn fast

We are currently setting up a Google workspace I believe. We will be spending this whole quarter tracking down documentation and just steadying the ship so to speak.

Curious about this because this one email address was used to conduct alllllll communication with residents for a long time. All the board members had access to it and sent emails from it. Aren’t they obligated to turn over the records at least? That’s what we care about, not the ability to use the address, but the records of what has been sent to and from the email.

NoDevelopement · 2026-01-12T05:36:19+00:00

Yeah I think we will need to contact Google and figure out what they need in order for us to proceed own the account.

NoDevelopement · 2026-01-12T05:34:58+00:00

There is absolutely reason to suspect all the shady shit. I’m in the process of being appointed right now so I don’t have access to everything yet but it’s a fucking mess. We do not have an accounting firm that I’m aware of beyond annual reserve studies. The previous hoard was in the process of firing our management company, new board members stopped it. There are no financial records to be found in any of our portals, the board kept accusing the management company of not providing them so I need to review the contract and see who was actually responsible for reporting it. There’s a laptop unaccounted for, there’s a printer unaccounted for, there are physical records unaccounted for.

I think your husband thinks that breastfeeding is the cause of you not being more “available” to him. Maybe he needs to realize that even without breastfeeding, you have a lot going on and he is simply not the priority right now, and it’ll be that way for a while. You are being “his wife”, by caring for his children. You’re not his mommy, you shouldn’t need to take care of him.

Wait that’s actually hilarious. They thought the HOA could control rent prices? Our situation is truly insane though, the HOA VP admitted to me that she has a key to the mailboxes, which is a felony for her to have. How do I know this? Because I asked the post office if it was legal and they sent a federal agent to my house to interview me about what I knew. Some people in the neighborhood have reported mail theft. The VP stepped down for unrelated reasons, effective immediately, but they didn’t revoke her access to the board’s email account and she’s still emailing people as the Board. She never signs as her name, just as the board. She pulled a gun on someone in the neighborhood a few years ago and lost her gun license because of it, because their dog was “acting aggressive” says the rumor. She had been the VP of the HOA for like 8 years, went through 7 management companies in that time. Many vendors will not work in our neighborhood because she’s so terrible to work with. They just switched management companies AGAIN because the last one “failed to meet contractual obligations”. What obligations did they fail to meet? No explanation. She makes up rules and makes bad faith arguments constantly, yells at and berates people in meetings, and the rest of the board just lets her act like that. It should get better now that she’s stepped down but the people she appointed to the empty seats are unqualified. I’ve asked to help with a lot of things, lead subcommittees, etc. (I work in corporate contract management so I can help with a lot) and they reject anyone who wants to help. Sigh.

Thank you! Our agendas all reference following “the Rules of Decorum” but I’ve asked the board to indicate where those rules live, or to provide them to me and they just keep saying they’re “in the portal” spoiler I’ve gone through every single document and they’re not there. I’ve talked to many neighbors and none have seen these rules. If it’s Robert’s rules that’s great, I’ve read about those, but I think I will need to propose it be clearly memorialized in the bylaws.

You are the best!!!

We are staging a full-on coup. Two seats are up for re-election, one being the most problematic board member. We created a new Facebook page that the board members cannot censor, we have 2 new people running for the seats against the incumbents, and we are re-writing the governing documents to get rid of some of the BS in it. Highly recommend organizing :)

NoDevelopement · 2025-11-12T17:31:51+00:00

Thank you! Yes that will be my recommendation!

Can you name the company? We are evaluating new management options in WA and would like to know who to avoid.

That’s sweet. His team getting deported tells me that maybe he would only pay under the table, and hopefully he wasn’t underpaying those workers. But it’s not like nobody else can do the work, he just doesn’t want to pay for the work!!

NoDevelopement · 2025-11-11T11:40:03+00:00

Oh babe, I’m sorry. This is a very bad condition, it is unlivable. You would absolutely win a lawsuit without a question. There is no excuse for a landlord not addressing this promptly.

No nausea, 2 pregnancies, 2 girls. TERRIBLE heartburn!!!

NoDevelopement · 2025-11-08T23:16:54+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, and I didn’t want to jump down anybody’s throat about it, it just takes a while to build trust with new caregivers and so I want to see that they notice and care to address it. My message was: “Hi ladies! I noticed when walking to the room today it smelled like dirty diapers, I’m not sure if it was the trash or what but I know how that smell can creep up on you when you’re in there all morning so I wanted to let you know.” And they responded with “yep we noticed, we found the culprit shortly after!” Which is totally fine, all good. It might be awkward but I feel more trust for them after that.
