How Can Homeowners Handle HOA Disputes?

Homeowners who live in communities governed by a homeowners’ association (HOA) often run into a unique set of issues to deal with. Whether it is rules and regulations that affect the usage and maintenance of property or difficult neighbors within the community, the potential areas for disputes to arise are plentiful.
