Condo associations are the most slept-on reality show TV idea
From rain barrels and broken pipes to overgrown lawns and storage unit mysteries, condo board members go out of their way to be difficult
Condo boards would be amazing reality TV. I don’t know why no one has made this into a series like “Real Housewives” or “Love & Hip Hop.” After one casual glance at a Reddit board from condo owners and homeowners association members complaining about power-tripping condo boards, it’s more than obvious that there is some interest there. The only problem with a reality show based on condo boards is that a sizable amount of the viewing audience would spend 99% of the show wondering one thing: “How did this small issue get this big?”

As an Amazon affiliate, I earn a percentage from purchases with my referral links. I know some consumers are choosing to boycott Amazon for its DEI removal. However, after thinking about this thoroughly, I want to continue promoting cool products from small businesses, women-owned businesses and (specifically) Black-owned businesses who still feature their items on Amazon. As of the first date of Black History Month 2025, each new post will ALWAYS include a MINIMUM of one product sold by a Black-owned business. (I have visited the seller’s official site to verify that Amazon Black-owned logo.) I am (slowly) doing this with older, popular posts too. If you still choose to boycott, I 100% respect that decision.
It seems like that’s how all condo board versus condo owner arguments start. In this Reddit post, a unit owner noticed a leaking water heater and a broken pipe. While one would think the average condo board would investigate this to fix the pipe and the leak, and avoid a higher water and sewage bill, this board chose only to say, “Thanks.”
Wow, super helpful.
Yahoo! Life had their own ideas about how to resolve wasted water usage: collecting shower water and creating rain barrels in your yard, along with a few other ideas.
I shook my head as soon as I saw “rain barrel.” I know the chaos that that suggestion will bring. In fact, that one topic led to a huge argument, a drink thrown and “hippie” debate.
