Hello everyone,
I'm Rosalind Grigger, a homeowner in Countryside at Cumberland in Smyrna.
I'm sharing my case because it's not just about me -- it's about how HOA boards and management companies can neglect repairs, retaliate against owners, and then use our own HOA fees to fight us in court.
The management company in my case, Sharper Image Management Consultants, runs 16 Georgia communities. If you've had problems with them, or want to see proof of how they operate, here's my full public evidence file link below.

Managing Agent: Sharper Image Management Consultants
Case Type:
HOA Negligence, Retaliation, Harassment, Bad Faith Insurance Handling
1. Why This File Exists
This is not opinion -- this is a documented public record showing how an HOA and its management company chose legal fights over fixing real problems.
Multiple HOA-controlled plumbing failures caused water damage and mold.
Repairs were delayed or denied despite repeated notices.
When I fought for my rights, they responded with retaliation, intimidation, and legal maneuvers to drain time and money.
They used YOUR HOA fees to pay lawyers to fight me instead of fixing what they knew was broken.
If they can do it to me, they can -- and likely will -- do it to you.

Superior Court Filing (Nov 2023): Started here after year-long neglect. HOA responded with defenses, not solutions. Case dismissed without prejudice to allow Magistrate claim.
Magistrate Court Filing (Mar 2025): Sought faster damages recovery. HOA fought to move it back to Superior -- a cost-raising delay tactic.
Now: No settlement, no confidentiality -- all evidence is public. They're still fighting instead of fixing.
4. Who Really Pays
HOAs aren't bad. The problem is WHO runs them and HOW they operate without oversight.
When they hire lawyers to fight homeowners: from my understandiing
You pay their legal bills through your dues.
Even if you've never had a dispute, your money funds retaliation against your neighbors.
That's money not spent on repairs, safety, or property value.
