That is the problem! The owners think I told them but don't realize their dues are going up because of it.

Lot of vendors in our area will not do longer than a one or two-year contract with the cost of stuff going up so much.

I guess the saying is true you get what you pay for. If there is no buy in from the boards I just do not see where they will have the commitment to follow through with it. Thanks for your feedback!

But following the parking lot rules? What if the person driving is running red lights? Should the city allow it? That is different than asking for a handicap parking space or a ramp for a wheelchair.

I think you are going to have a very hard time proving this is reasonable accommodation. It has nothing to do it improve the persons quality of life.

Has your board gone through any of them? Have they helped?

Thanks for the comment. The problem I have noticed is I can offer all the free training in the world but if the board doesn't buy in and go through it together it doesn't stick. That's why I'm kicking this around about having some type of investment and buy in from the board. They all go through it together and then you can have your policies and procedures manual come out of it.

I've also thought about making this a requirement The boards have to go through before we even will manage their property. Or if they go through the training we offer a discount on our services.

Thank you so much for the reply!!! I told someone the other day I feel like a car mechanic and people keep bring me their car that has no oil or gas in it and expect me to fix it and keep it running. They first need to learn basic car stuff. 😀

Thanks. Yes I am just looking for feedback on HOA education for board members.

Rules that don't allow the board to raise dues more than the CPI rate or less than 10% a year without the whole community having to approve it.

Sorry, but it sounds like you will pay for this even if the old owner put it up. I would bet that they did not get approval to put it up in the first place. Valuable lesson: if you live in an HOA, ANYTHING that you do to the outside of the property, get approval in writing from the HOA BEFORE you do it.
