What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
Hi, I have a question that I hope somebody can answer... I live in Virginia and recently purchased a home in a neighborhood that is governed by an HOA. Since I have a toddler and a new born, I decided to request pool passes, after all, I am paying rather steep HOA dues. The management company that administers the HOA refuses to issue a pass for my toddler and new born children unless I provide them with the date of birth and picture of each one of them.
I do understand the requirement for children 12 and older because they can use the pool by themselves, but it seems like a violation of my minor child's privacy to request all this personal information. I am not all right with sending them the pictures with dates of birth, they already have my address. Is there anything that I can legally do about it? I am basically paying for a service that I am not able to use since I am not comfortable with releasing that much information about my children. They say they try to cut the use of the pool by non residents... really???? Do they mean to tell me that a 4 year old can walk by himself to swim at the pool from a different neighborhood or what?
Do they even have teh right to request pictures of minor children with date of birth and address? When I called them today they said "Oh, we only need month and year of birth"... I don't want to give them a picture, so... what should I do? What can I do? Any ideas? Advice?
I asked for proof that they do background checks on the employees handling this information but apparently that is confidential... Please help!!!
This is too much!
Thanks a lot!!
