The enemies of HOAs are everywhere, and there are enough malcontents that the possibility of such waste being of human origin should not be discounted. Some people have such a problem with authority that they will do anything as a form of protest. Eternal vigilance is the price of protecting your property values.<br /><br />Therefore, we are urging HOAs to adopt rules requiring them to collect DNA samples of all residents and visitors, too. <br /><br />If your CC&Rs explicitly prohibit your association from collecting DNA samples from your rsidents, CAI trained-and-certified attorneys will help you have the CC&Rs amended. For a large fee, of course. But do not worry, since you can pass those costs back to the homeowners who will benefit from such a policy.Communisty Associations Institutehttp://caionline.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060417.post-27948285087662810932011-12-17T18:55:18.614-06:002011-12-17T18:55:18.614-06:00The management company involved is "Benchmark...The management company involved is "Benchmark". <br />Benchmark is an Associa subsidiary.<br /><br />This ranks up there with the cement blocks that another Associa subsidiary placed in driveways in a Georgia HOA to prevent owners from being able to use their vehicles to exit or enter their own property.<br /><a href="http://privatopia.blogspot.com/2011/06/car-blocked-in-driveway-by-hoa.html" rel="nofollow">Car Blocked in Driveway by HOA</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
