The record homeowners keep
Tell us your worst HOA story.
The fine that skipped the hearing. The lien you never saw coming. The records request that went into a black hole. Whatever your association put you through, put it on the record, anonymously, where the next owner can find it.
Here’s what your story buys you.
- You stay anonymous. Post under a pseudonymous handle, with no name or email required to publish.
- Your story goes on the public record, where the next owner (and the next buyer) can find it.
- One real story builds the page for your association — and puts it on the map.
What makes a story land.
The most useful stories are specific, grounded, and about the association. They aren't a vent, and they aren't about a neighbor. A few things to aim for:
Tell the timeline
What happened, in order: the notice, the deadline, the hearing (or the one you never got), the dollar amount. Specifics beat adjectives.
Keep it about the association
Write about the board, the manager's office, the committee. Keep it on the entity, not a neighbor by name. That's what keeps it publishable and fair.
Show the receipts you can
Rule numbers, statute references, what the bylaws actually say. Grounded accounts help the next owner push back.
Say what you'd do differently
The records request that reset it, the meeting that changed the vote: the move that worked is the most useful part for everyone reading.
Anonymous, not lawless: the rules, plainly.
You post under a pseudonymous handle, with no name or email needed to publish. In return, every story is screened by our moderation pass before it goes live, and we de-identify personal details automatically. It keeps you safe and keeps this place publishable.
- No names of individuals.
- We review the association and roles like “the board,” never a person. Names get de-identified before publishing.
- No addresses, plates, or other personal details.
- Our moderation pass catches PII and redacts it, yours and anyone else's.
- No threats, doxxing, or hate.
- Those are blocked outright. Anonymous, not lawless.
- Speak from your own experience.
- “In my experience…” and “the board allegedly…” clear moderation faster than unverifiable claims of crime.
Your association has its version. Now put yours on the record.
Anonymous, screened, and entity-level. It takes a few minutes and it helps every owner who comes after you.
