HOA Nightmare: Exposing Hidden Fees and Legal Battles
A homeowner in Charlotte, Sherry Loeffler, was fined over $12,000 by her HOA for having four windows instead of the eight her neighbors had, despite receiving approval for her window plan. Loeffler sued the HOA and won, with the court ruling in her favor and dismissing the fines. The HOA plans to appeal the decision. Loeffler is also suing the HOA over water damage in the same lawsuit. Both homeowners and HOAs are advised to ensure clear and specific communication when making changes to homes to avoid misunderstandings.
