The president seems like a nice guy but goes behind people back to control who gets on the board.
The president seems like a nice guy but goes behind people back to control who gets on the board. He also has a “wicked queen” who helps run the show. They refuse to answer question about how money is spent. It all seems like a trick of hand. Anyone who ask questions is attacked. Don’t move here!

Management turnover is high.
Management turnover is high. Management is arbitrary and unfair in setting rules. Nor do they tell people what the rules are. They communicate via the internet however they have not verified people’s email address or know who is on the list. Many residents do not have email. They do not go. Y the bylaws just what the believe the bylaws say. Each board has their own rules and blames the last board for everything. Does not follow up on accounts that are due thousands of dollars. Does not follow up on fraud suspicions permitted by the financial person in the board. No oversight on financial system. Lack of internal controls. Conflicts of interest. Has pool but not always up to code.
FAQ
Maryland HOA Questions
Q1:What is Maryland's main HOA law?
Maryland HOAs are governed by the Maryland Homeowners Association Act (Md. Code, Real Prop. § 11B-101 et seq.) for planned communities and the Maryland Condominium Act (§ 11-101 et seq.) for condos.
Q2:Can a Maryland HOA charge a fee when I sell my home?
Yes. Maryland HOAs can charge a resale disclosure fee when a home is sold. The HOA must provide a disclosure package to buyers, and state law caps the fees that can be charged for this package.
Q3:Does Maryland law require HOAs to have an annual audit?
Maryland law requires HOAs with annual assessments above a certain threshold to have an annual financial review or audit, and results must be made available to members upon request.
