VP that's out of control

Hello all,

A new member here. I live in a building whereby the VP has taken it upon himself to govern and enforce any and all rules and regulations he deems necessary. For example, in the R&R's it states that real estate agents may place a professional A-frame sign outside during their Open House. The sign is to be removed immediately following Open House. The city signage states that a sign can be placed 2ft. from the curb and the area cannot encompass more that 20sq.ft. All of which have been done by an agent here representing a homeowner. The VP has consistently removed the sign during Open House, has verbally abused and threatened the agent through e-mails to the point where the agent doesn't want to work in the building any longer. It would appear that this VP is prohibiting homeowners from pursuing the value of their units. What can we do? Is legal action called for in this instance?

What does your documents say about temporary signs? How about calling the police and reporting him for theft next time he removes a sign, and make him prove to the police that your documents do not allow open house signs even tho they are conforming to the city rules. Your state might even have a law against tampering with real estate signs and state law would over ride your documents.
This definitely goes against the mantra of HOAs that tell us they are there to protect our property values. Yeah - how do you realize your "protected value" if you can't allow people to view your property? Harold

If this VP is taking the Realtor signs...the Realtor should report it to the police. As a Realtor, I can tell you that most of the larger (18x24 & up) A-frame Open House signs are about $100 each!
