Sorry, but if you live in a nice community and want to keep it that way, everyone needs to do their fair share and pitch in-they are called deadbeats
for a reason.

Seems as though some people just have to have their fifteen minutes of power.

That was one of the reasons we chose to avoid the whole HOA thing down here as well. And don't just think that the problems are limited to this side
of the border. A good friend is battling a huge financial headache with a bankrupt HOA at one of his rentals in Orange County...

Baja Malibu
I am somewhat familiar with Baja Malibu as each year SAHOPE receives numerous complaints by homeowners concerning HOA abuse. Some of the concerns
brought up:
-Treasure safekeeping HOA funds in a foreign bank account in the United States under his personal name. (Big problems can arise out of this).
-The HOA only accepts US Dollars as payment for dues and rejects the country's legal currency of Mexican Pesos.
-HOA targeting and harassing home owners that have failed to pay there HOA dues. There was a discussion rather or not the HOA board can be held liable
for promoting violence by providing a list during board meetings to each resident and encouraged to force there neighbors to pay there dues.
-HOA elections are non-compliant and rigged and other homeowners don't get a chance to run or even address concerns at board meetings because board
directors will not discuss or resolve owners problems.
-Maintenance and security workers do not maintain or secure the community well and wages of full-time labor are not proportionate with median salaries
for such duties for Tijuana. The HOA is excessively paying the employees in US dollars rather than pesos.
I wish Baja Malibu the best in gaining control over their own created problems but this is not likely to happen without effort.
The community $75 monthly dues are an excessive amount to pay each month with no amenities and having no common areas according to planning records.
Free legal advice for this association to get a grip would include lowering dues to $30-$40 a month. It is proven that owners may not see the value in
there HOA dues and therefore chooses not to pay.
Truth may be hard to swallow but no community should go to war on homeowners with legal battles and try to compromise a solution.
My colleagues may beg to differ when I advise to resolve issues without legal assistance because lets be honest in my profession war between neighbors
is good for business.
Best of luck
