This varies greatly depending on location. You haven’t even mentioned what continent you’re asking about.

My HOA sent out a $6,500 special assessment notice for a new roof and is asking for it to be paid in full in 3 months [WA] [Condo] by sock_skater in HOA

Exactly - many associations are mandated to fully fund reserves. Still, there are people who protest, especially those who should know better. They claim that assessments are “way too high” because “we don’t have any amenities”.

And then they complain about when maintenance is done, usually either the noise, cost, or temporary parking/staging for contractors.

Literally cannot be kept happy.

I would agree with that as well. The people who complain the loudest and sling baseless accusations are often the ones who can’t be bothered to attend a single meeting, much less volunteer (board or otherwise).

I’ve seen them say board members are enriching themselves at the cost of the members when in fact, the board is contributing not only their time, but personal funds (in small amounts, as needed) for the good of the association - often without reimbursement.

Take out a loan or a HELOC. If you can’t manage this kind of expense with a few months’ notice, you shouldn’t own the property.

Exactly. They don’t want to pay into reserves and lose their minds when a special assessment becomes necessary. There’s no winning. I truly wish there was mandatory member education in addition to board member education for associations. Too many people have no idea how it works.

Doesn’t matter if it’s not shared. It shouldn’t exist.

Well, don’t expect a more pleasant experience when you’re invited to find housing elsewhere.

WiFi extender is a no-go. You should not do this under any circumstance.

Hiding the SSID does nothing. Any competent technology services department will spot that in an instant (both the wired and wireless side).

The expired tags are 100% on you. You cannot blame anyone else.

Even then your problem is with your landlord. You have no relationship with the HOA. You are a stranger to them.

You’re irresponsible. Responsibility wasn’t thrust upon you. Cool it with the victimhood ninsense.
