The HOA at my apartment complex sent me a letter that point blank and directly accused me of theft and vandalism.
I have some stepping stones in my porch area. I've had them in plain view for the duration of the two years that I've lived here. They have never been a problem before, security is aware of them, no one has ever mentioned if they could be a violation of HOA guideline, HOA has inspected my patio before multiple times.... You get the idea.
But the letter directly states that I have "stolen" these stones from one of the common areas, damaging and vandalizing the property's grounds. Bear in mind that if I had removed heavy stones, there should be some indentions from the rocks in the heavy ground, and considering the shapes, they should fit into any holes like a puzzle piece. But there's nothing, obviously, since I never stole anything from the property in the first place like they claim. Also of note, the stones on my patio look NOTHING like any of the rock types found around the complex. Mine are a completely different type.
They added more to it by saying that they are likely going to need to assess the damage that they think I caused, and bill my account for it. Again, my stones have been on my porch for two years, and there's nothing changed in the common area. The security manager knows I'm telling the truth, and offered to vouch/testify on my behalf if it comes to that.
Considering that they've committed libel against me with false accusations, and are trying to act against me over some imaginary crime, is there someone that I can report my HOA to? I'm not screaming "lawyer" or anything, but this sort of behavior is unacceptable, and I'm not going to tolerate being called a "thief", especially when their service to the property over the two years I've been here has been utterly sub-standard. And that's being polite in describing it.
Bottom line: The need to stop and get their facts straight before the let their imaginations run wild and jump to conclusions.
Any advice on some local organization I can talk to about my complex's batmess crazy HOA? I'm around the Summerlin area.
