Resident claims she “keeps the neighborhood's standards high” by reporting false complaints to the HOA about other neighbors, they form a plan to sue: ‘The HOA won't do anything about her’

If you sign up to live in an HOA neighborhood, you should prepare yourself for the constant surveillance from all your fellow neighbors.

While being constantly watched shouldn't be the standard, even in an HOA neighborhood, it happens in most of them. All that is needed is one extremely noisy neighbor, a drop of entitlement, and a letter to the HOA, and you find yourself living like you are Jim Carrey in The Truman Show.

Since the HOA is all about rules, if someone is making your living situation feel like a monitored mess, the rules can be there to help you. Entitled neighbors can complain all they want about the length of your grass or the color of your mailbox, and you can do it right back at them. That's what the HOA is for, right?

The entitled neighbor in the story below, a 70-year-old lady named Patricia, has reported her new neighbors to the HOA eight times, all of which were completely false reports. She filed more complaints about these poor residents than anyone else in the 15-year history of the neighborhood, and it doesn't seem like she plans to stop. When the residents decided to confront her about her endless reports and their lack of authenticity, Patricia claimed that she was only doing it to keep the neighborhood standards high, while adding that she thinks that the residents have a "suspicious" look to them.

Obviously, Patricia's behavior should not be allowed, and she shouldn't even be permitted to keep filing complaints to the HOA if all of them turn out to be based on complete lies. It doesn't matter what her motives are, whether she's bored, lonely, or simply entitled; her actions should be stopped, especially in an HOA neighborhood based on so many rules and regulations.

The residents claim that the HOA refuses to do anything about Patricia, as they do not plan to make her stop filing the complaints. But that doesn't mean there are no other ways to put a stop to her actions. Keep scrolling to read the full story, and add your take about what the residents should do in the comments down below.
