What can I do if my HOA board doesnt follow the rules?
I live in a neighborhood with a HOA. We have set rules or covenants and the board is not following them. When I asked them about this they said they didnt have the time to follow the rules or they are working on it. I have talked to board members in person, on the phone and sent them letters. A few other people in the neighborhood have as well with no luck.Who can I contact to find out what I need to do to make them follow the rules? Is their an HOA Board of some kind?

Yes, the Courts. HOA's have been known to run a muck everywhere. While in theory their legal status and creation seems to be an asset, in reality living under some developments governed by them is like living under tyranny. You need to band together as a group and find an attorney that is familiar with the law in your state that governs HOA's. That is really your best bet. Good luck.
