What is the name of your state? OH
We have been renting a home in an HOA for almost 3 years. Part of the HOA's common areas is a pool. The landlord, with whom we have a good relationship, lives in the next city over and keeps current on all HOA dues. He does this so that we, the tenants, have access to the common areas and pool. This is implied and stated in our lease. The past 2 summers, there was not a problem with our family using the HOA pool. However, last summer, the president of the HOA and I got into a pretty heated argument over a discipline issue regarding one of my children. (this president has a reputation for being a hothead and someone who noses into everyone's business)Now this year, we get a letter from him, 4 days before the pool opens for the sunmer, stating that pool tags cannot be issued to renters because of the insurance policy for the common areas and pool. This letter is not signed by anyone, just printed on the HOA letterhead. I told the landlord, and he is furious and says he will get a lawyer if necessary.
What are our rights here? There was no problem the last 2 summers with renters, us, using the pool. What can we do?
