Board Member Resolve
Can Resolve Conflicts
Ideally, boards and homeowners would work together
without incident and neighbors get along without
friction – but anyone who's served on a board knows that
sooner or later, conflicts arise. Oftentimes, the association
asks a homeowner to change their behavior or comply with
an established procedure. Or a homeowner requests that
the board take a specific action that violates the covenants.
While you can't always control how conflicts begin, the
board's response can influence whether disputes end with a
successful resolution or a costly lawsuit.
This guide is intended to be a quick reference to help
your board choose the best course of action to take when
community discord arises. Read on for conflict resolution
best practices developed specifically for community
associations, and get ready to achieve resolutions with
more success and less stress.
