End Abusive HOA Laws and Practices in Maryland (A Petition)
Maryland upholds laws and practices that feed an HOA industry that profits by manufacturing homeowner debt. We demand Economic Justice.
Visit Change.org/ReformHOAs to read and sign the full petition. Here is a summary. The full petition crystallizes six years of testimonies from residents in Quail Valley HOA. These lived experiences are ignored by legacy media, but it's part of the rising struggle for economic justice for homeowners in America. There is more to come.
– Steven Sellers Lapham, 24-year homeowner in Quail Valley

We demand that our Quail Valley HOA board of directors cease abusive practices in our community now. We ask Maryland Governor Wes Moore and Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich to quickly halt abuses by issuing executive orders where that is possible. We ask state legislators to reform the laws that govern HOAs in Maryland, laws that uphold the abuses.
