Since the 1970s, American neighborhoods have been increasingly governed by homeowner associations (HOAs)(source 2). Condominium or apartment buildings and subdivisions are often run by an HOA led by a board of directors comprised of a small group of volunteer homeowners (source 1). The nature of an HOA's responsibilities can be broad, ranging from establishing an annual budget and collecting dues or fees to maintaining common areas, enforcing rules or regulations, and more. With much to do and a wide variety of preferences under their prevue, HOAs often cannot please every homeowner.
