    Bestes Zitat aus Virginia HOA disputes and holding your board accountable

    Eingabefrage

    We are 90 and 100 years old, living in the same Virginia townhouse for 45 years under condominium laws. The HOA is abusing us and ignoring severe erosion on the common property affecting ours. We have documented everything and are near legal action. How do we go about this?
