Terry is elected president of Shady Glen Association, a 30-unit townhome community. She soon discovers that previous board members agreed among themselves that they shouldn’t pay assessments. By Terry’s calculations, the association is missing $10,000. Several of the nonpaying board members left the community, though some remain. She raises the issue with new board members and several residents, but they want Terry to let sleeping dogs lie. While not broke, Shady Glen could use the money for several projects, including rectifying a drainage issue. The association doesn’t have the money to hire an attorney.
What options does Terry have? Should she just give up on Shady Glen and forget collecting the delinquent assessments?
