Bridgewater HOA: End the unfair practices

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT SOME HOMEOWNERS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS? IF NOT, THEN YOU NEED TO SIGN THIS PETITION TO PUT AN END TO UNFAIR PRACTICES OF THE BRIDGEWATER HOA.

THE HOA BOARD WAS DESIGNED TO REPRESENT US, ALL OF US HOMEOWNERS, NOT JUST SOME OR EVEN THE MAJORITY. YET, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THE BRIDGEWATER HOA HAS STARTED DOING RECENTLY WITH THE HELP OF THEIR ATTORNEY, THEY ARE ENFORCING THESE RULES AND ARE GETTING AWAY WITH IT. NOTE THAT THIS ATTORNEY IS GETTING PAID FROM OUR HOA DUES.

THE CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS HAVE TAKEN IT UPON THEMSELVES TO CREATE RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT ARE BIASED AND UNFAIR AND LEAVES THE COMMUNITY VULNERABLE TO LAW SUITS. IN FLORIDA, THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT ENTITY THAT OVERSEES HOA’S, THE ONLY WAY TO FIGHT THEM IS THROUGH YOUR VOTE OR LITIGATION. BELOW ARE SOME OF THE REASONS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER SIGNING THIS PETITION:

1) THE BOARD REQUIRES THAT HOMEOWNERS OF RENTAL PROPERTY PAY A $500 SECURITY DEPOSIT. THIS RULE IS BIASED BECAUSE IT SINGLES OUT SOME HOMEOWNERS AND NOT OTHERS. NO RESIDENT SHOULD HAVE TO PAY A SECURITY DEPOSIT TO AN ASSOCIATION.

2) THE BOARD DEMANDS THAT TENANTS SUBMIT TO CREDIT AND BACKGROUND CHECKS. THIS RULE IS BIASED AGAINST CERTAIN RESIDENTS. ARE CRIMINALS MADE UP OF ONLY TENANTS? CAN A HOMEOWNER NOT HAVE BAD CREDIT? CAN A HOMEOWNER NOT HAVE A SHADY BACKGROUND? IF A CREDIT/BACKGROUND CHECK IS NEEDED, THEN ALL RESIDENTS SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO THE SAME SCRUTINY.

3) THIS BOARD DEMANDS THAT LANDLORDS AND TENANTS SIGN THE ASSOCIATION’S LEASE THAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE ASSOCIATION’S ATTORNEY, AS IF THEY OWN THE PROPERTY. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO AN OWNER’S PROPERTY RIGHTS?

IF YOU ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THESE RULES UNJUSTLY SINGLE OUT SOME HOMEOWNERS OVER OTHERS AND YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRNESS AND EQUALITY AND CHERISH YOUR PROPERTY RIGHTS, THEN PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION.

ALSO, THE NEXT ELECTION IS COMING UP. I URGE YOU TO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR VOTE. IF YOU DON’T WANT TO VOTE BUT WANT A VOICE, THEN PLEASE ALLOW ME, KATTIE HORN, TO BE YOUR PROXY VOTE. MY GOAL IS SIMPLY TO PUT AN END TO UNFAIR PRACTICES THAT VIOLATE HOMEOWNERS’ PROPERTY RIGHTS .
