    Virginia HOA disputes and holding your board accountable

    Miglior citazione da Virginia HOA disputes and holding your board accountable

    “

    Board members are not just neighbors helping out; they are officers of a corporation with a fiduciary duty to act with care and diligence. If they ignore documented issues like severe erosion on common property, they are failing their legal requirement to protect the association's assets.

    ”

    Domanda di input

    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?
