Just my 2 cents: Real Manage being local or not doesn't bother me, and the harassing letters would be easy enough to stop. I think Real Manage would be hard pressed to justify the expense, especially for a lawyer, at a hearing to insist that a resident be responsible for another neighbor's rubbish bins.
After contacting Real manage I talked with the local POC concerning harassing letters about commercial insignia on my privately owned family car parked in my driveway. Since TL didn't bother to define what a commercial vehicle was I used TXDOT's, but I guess Real Manage wanted to try and go with intent instead of the plain language of the deed restrictions. Anyway, after yet another letter I called Real Manage instead of the local POC and threatened to request a hearing, and that's when the harassing letters stopped.
I think it's just as easy for a local company to ignore a resident's letters, or refuse to inform inspectors. In any case, I interested to find out what TL decides about Real Manage.
@TLW: How long does it usually take for the mins to post after a meeting?
