C'mon, every decision of this nature has a gain v. cost factor.
Carolinina appears to be more realistic, that HOAs do take things like that into consideration. Of course, then, he has experience of that nature, so it is more than conjecture with him.  |
What I'm saying is that if a decision is made to
litigate a collection matter, you go after everyone you think is liable. Sorry, that's just the way it is. Why would a HOA not do it if they make a decision to file a lawsuit to collect the debt? It needs to find a person who can pay the debt. Your suggested scheme of avoiding debt is easily discovered before filing suit and adding an individual's name to a lawsuit is very simple.
I've been doing suing folks who have tried your scheme for 25 years and have great experience of that nature, so it is more than conjecture with me.
I agree with Carolinian that most HOAs are not going to go this route.
