We used to have an issue with the neighbor because the HOA told them we complained about their dog.
We never complained it was that the other neighbor who complained but wanted to blame us for doing it so they could still be friends etc… so they told the HOA to tell them it was us.
all kinds of crab goes on.
Also on a Condo, there was an issue with the next condo over but the HOA did not want to confront the guy for what ever reason so they sent the notice to us LOL.
