What's your take on this? If this ever happens, what would it do to homeowners and the housing market? -- Amy M., Las Vegas Sat, 04 Sep 2010 09:10:24 GMT fe81b32dedd4b4f30dd8c38fb0600c95 FeedLoader 2010-09-04T09:10:24Z http://www.lvrj.com/r?19=961&43=192647&44=102211294&32=4051&7=206756&40=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lvrj.com%2Freal_estate%2Fresale-homes-report-102211294.html Editor's note: Listings include the resale home's parcel number.

These key fobs cost $50 each. This system can be programmed to deny access to areas such as the pool, gym and mail room to residents that are not current in their HOA dues and/or fees that are imposed for violations of the rules and regulations. I can understand its right to deny access to the community areas but does the board a legal right to deny any homeowner or renter access to his or her mail? Can an HOA require a $50 key fob for residents to be able to access their mail?
