If that theory holds, almost any unresolved dispute with an association — including one created by the board itself — can become a potential basis for exclusion. An owner challenges an assessment, enforcement action, architectural decision, records denial, maintenance failure, litigation position, or other board action. If the matter remains unresolved, counsel can argue that the owner might later influence it as a director and might benefit from the outcome.

Nevada already has detailed HOA laws, an administrative agency and an appointed Commission. But the intended institutional tension between NRED and the Commission appears to have weakened, allowing recurring problems to be investigated, discussed or closed without producing clear public answers.

Nevada regulators are considering a rule allowing HOA fines up to $10,000 per violation. Learn what happened at the workshop, why it matters, and how homeowners can submit comments before the rule is finalized.

Nevada HOA Boards can take any action, to include approval of major contracts, without meeting or providing advance notice to owners. But should they? In my opinion this provides an unguarded door to abuse that for too long has been in need of closure.
