Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I have managed to live most of my life without homeowners' associations. I generally have a negative opinion of them. I owned a condo for 10 years and was part of the HOA. They were pretty benign but my most memorable experiences were watching the president do her rounds when she arrived every summer to nit pik and ding people on stupid little violations. I guess it was her personal power trip. We never got any dings though.
So now I live in a rural subdivision that has an HOA that I am not part of by deed. I don't completely know the history but it is correct. I am however part of a road maintenance association for our private road and gate.
I have been asked to be a director for the road maintenance association and have agree to have my name on the ballot.
Have I made a mistake? What are my risks?
I have no issues with my neighbors. Most live on the mainland most of the time (we are in Hawaii). I am happy to help and I live here full time. When there are issues with gate, fallen trees, etc. I don't mind helping out.
I know of only one legal issue where the RMA has an injunction against an adjacent landowner who had an access easement for a lot that he tried to turn into access for a new subdivision.
Overall, I am trying to be helpful but want to avoid any legal issues. I doubt the RMA has good legal cover because we are small. I have good personal liability insurance but I doubt it covers this.
Thoughts?
