My journey into this fight began with a personal tragedy; I lost my beloved mother in February. During a time when I should have been allowed to grieve, I was thrown into a battle with her condo's HOA. This association, despite charging $7000 annually, refuses to provide transparency on how these substantial funds are being utilized.

Moreover, I discovered they wield the power to impose any amount for “insurance assessments.” The financial strain posed by these fees could force me to sell my mother’s cherished condo—a place full of memories and a home I wished to share with my children.

Protection under the “Common Interest Realty Associations” allows HOAs to impose such astonishing fees. In the case of my family, they have proven to be more than a nuisance, they are fracturing our connection to my mother's memory. The struggle is not unique to me; thousands across the nation are grappling with similar issues, negotiating with HOAs that act with impunity and without accountability.

It is time to bring about a change in legislation that will dissolve unjust HOAs, protecting homeowners and inheritors from arbitrary and financially crippling charges. This will ensure that people are not left helpless, as I was while dealing with the loss of my mother.

Join me in standing up against HOAs and their unfair practices. Sign this petition to pressure our lawmakers into taking necessary actions. Together, we can work towards a system that favors us, the homeowners, not the associations.
