I own a condo. I engaged a mangement company to locate a tenant.
This is the same company that manages the complex for the HOA. The
tenants have a dog and they keep it chained on the patio.

Some residents complained about the dog. The HOA CC&Rs do not allow
pets in the complex. There are lots of cats in the complex, roaming
free.

I have had conversations with the management company on the situation.
There have been some discussions and compromises. The management
company sends threatening letters and fines my account. I wrote a
letter asking for a dialog, but the next letter was more of the same
without even an acknowledgement of my letter.

I intend to speak directly to the board. There are numerous other
violations of the CC&Rs evident in the complex. I am not normally
one who makes waves.

What I want to know is do I have any legal recourse to get them to
stop the harrassment? Can I take them to small claims court?
