I've lived here long enough to know that this issue of non paying housholds has been a budget sore point for many years and so the perception now is that Members in Good Standing are now being taken advantage of because we do pay and its cheaper for CRE to do so since hiring lawyers to go after those that dont pay is a money looser. Its now getting to a point of revolt within the CRE community if not careful. |
Excellent point.... And I heard a rumor that the Maryland Legislature recently was working on a bill that would put the liens placed by HOA's up in front of Mortgages.... which would give the HOA's more clout in collection their money... if the rumor is true...
