An extensive study has been made regarding the SSSFHOA and how its board functions. Many issues and problems have been identified. A number of HOA attorneys have given the Association Members/Owners this advice:
“THE HOA BOARD HAS A DUTY TO ABIDE BY AND ENFORCE THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS.
IF THE HOA BOARD FAILS IN ITS DUTIES, EACH INDIVIDUAL OWNER HAS STANDING AND RIGHTS TO ENFORCE THE PROVISIONS OF THE ACTS AND GOVERNING DOCUMENTS INDEPENDENT OF THE HOA BOARD…
THE OWNERS NEED TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE.”
