Florida Homeowners Association Terror

Let me say it again: Once you become a target, you will always be a target. There is no clean slate. Even if you win a lawsuit against someone in which it is decided by the court that the opposing party is in the wrong, nothing will ever be the same. It is like being in a relationship where your partner engages in sexual infidelity: No matter how much you forgive and no matter if the cheater says they are going to turn their life around, you, the aggrieved party, will never forget. This inability to forget will guide your future actions. As more time passes, the more invested you become and the harder it is to break it off. The more self-talk you must engage in. The more rationalizing you will do. And the cheater knows this and it will surely guide their future actions, but not in your favor.

I totally understand why one of the first attorneys I consulted told me to just walk away from all of this Homeowners Association stuff. I thought I could persist. But I am tired of this part of the journey and am ready for change. Attempting to “win” costs money because justice is not free. And that money could be better spent elsewhere.

Since I am having trouble detailing my present situation with my Homeowners Association of Vista Palms in Wimauma, Florida (including the property management company: Unique Properties Services, Inc.), I am going to take this story back to the beginning in subsequent posts. Just know that, right now, the HOA is still aggressively pursing me on multiple fronts.
