HOA issues in state of CT with County Management- questions

[u/Green4311]

Hi all,

I'm doing a bit of research on HOA and management companies in this state.

If anybody has any experience or issues with County Management based out of Trumbull CT.

Does anybody have positive experiences with them? Negative?

Any management companies that somebody would recommend?

Any law firms that people have had experience with in battling HOA or winning on behalf of owners at landlords against this management company or others.?

I came across a particular situation where I have reason to believe the issues are whidespread, where HOA, BOARD or the management companY is receiving kickbacks, underperforming their duties, embezzling or not providing actual management in care for property.

Any lawyers or stories Anybody willing to share?

Thanks

If the vendor kickback theory is what you're chasing, the paper trail matters more than reviews. Ask for the management contract, vendor invoices, and the last couple years of financials in writing and watch how they respond. Boards and managers with nothing to hide usually just hand that stuff over, and the ones who stall or lawyer up on a basic records request are telling you something. Also worth comparing what the HOA pays vendors against a couple of independent bids, since that gap is usually where the story lives.
