That ONE home

If the renter is breaking the rules and you are fining all others the same for breaking the rules, I do not see how this can be selective enforcement.

The unhappy neighbors need to do their part and keep filing complaints with the HOA, so the HOA is on solid legal ground in continuing to fine.

You say people are "fed up with the elements" the tenant is bringing in the community, but if you want to avoid the selective enforcement tag, be sure you and the neighbors focus on the ACTIVITY, not the visitor's race, gender, age, etc. Too often, people are far more critical of people of other demographics doing the same thing people in their group are also doing (and you know what I'm talking about).

If these people are causing damage to the common area, creating a lot of trash or other violations of community rules, document what's going on and hammer the owner accordingly (maybe he or she doesn't mind opening his/her pocketbook to pay for nonsense). Tell the residents if they're concerned about criminal activity, call the police department's non-emergency number (save 911 when you actually see a crime being committed).

If a resident gets a copy of police report, it may be helpful to give a copy to the property manager - get enough of these and perhaps legal action can be taken against the owner for maintaining a nuisance or whatever's in your documents that prohibits activity to prevents others from quiet enjoyment of their homes. Talk to your association attorney as well to see what and when stronger action may be appropriate.

PS - this is a situation where you'll need to insist on complainers providing their contact information.
His/her testimony may be necessary if the situation escalates to legal action by the HOA - and you may be able to tell fairly if there's something to the issue or if people are being petty for no reason. If the board or property manager can verify the information, it might not be necessary to bring in the complainant at first.

I have read NRS 116 and there seems to be one tiny glimmer of hope. Traditionally, HOA cannot foreclose on owners that don't pay fines, they can only lien. NRS 116 does say that an HOA can foreclose on a fine providing the owner threatens the health and welfare of the community.

With that said, let me ask this question.. If you tag a car for 48 hour towing notice because the car is in the street, wheels off and on jack stands. Just because the owner puts wheels on the car and removes the jack stands, does that make the vehicle operable? To me, if the vehicle remains in the spot, it is inoperable and should be towed when the 48 hour clock runs out. what say you!

We had one homeowner who was fined $17,000 for a series of violations. It was paid without complaint. Tax write off. The monies were used to build a new website for our HOA.
