Villa del ScheisseHole... er... Sol

Before Samuel Dupuy Goza quietly “retired” from Robert L. Jensen & AssociatesRental Management, he pulled a final trick: he legally changed his name to the more streamlined  Sam Goza . Cute. Fast forward to December 2023— I get a violation letter. The alleged offense? 🛑  My guests were riding bikes. Yep. That’s it. But here's where it gets wild: The violation wasn’t even based on the CC&Rs for my complex,  Villa del Sol — Nope. They pulled those rules from the  European Quarter. (Which, side note, sounds like the HOA version of a wine bar that overcharges for tap water.) 🔍 The envelope had a QR code and this return address: Sam Goza ℅ Robert L. Jensen & Assoc. Villa del Sol So, to recap: ✅  Wrong rules ✅  Wrong complex ✅  Same shady sender 🧾  Callout:  If you’re going to weaponize CC&Rs, at least use the ones that apply to the actual property. Or don’t—and let your paper trail do the self-owning for you.   Welcome to ...

In the world of Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporations (like your friendly neighborhood HOA) or 501(c)(4)s, certain documents aren’t optional. They’re mandatory. Like annual filings with the IRS and the State of California — including one very important one called the Statement of Information. So what is a Statement of Information and why does it matter? I’m so glad you asked. According to TriNet, a Statement of Information is: “ Your first annual report. Periodic filings after the first report update the state with new information about your business that has occurred since the previous filing, such as changes in the entity’s name or address or changes in the names or addresses of its officers, directors, or partners .” Translation : It’s how the State knows who’s actually in charge. It’s what keeps business entities accountable and transparent — especially when they’re controlling other people’s money, homes, and lives. So… why wouldn’t a property manager (or “HOA board”) file it? Why...

  ... The Dirty Truth ( The Dirty Truth About My HOA ) I never imagined that a roof covered in leaves would unravel my relationship with my parents—or that a condo I thought I owned would turn into a silent war zone of harassment, manipulation, and decay. Welcome to Villa del Sol—a complex that used to be a quiet little community and is now run like a corporate slumlord operation in an HOA mask. Let’s start with the roof. Every other unit in this complex has a clean roof. Mine? Covered in leaves. Strategically covered. Not by nature—by someone intentionally blowing debris from surrounding rooftops onto mine. This isn’t an accident. It’s targeted. And then came the lie. “If the roof caves in, it’ll cost $2 million to fix,” Samuel Dupuy Goza told my father. “And since your daughter doesn’t have $2 million, you’ll be responsible. Because you used to be on the title.” Oh—and if it needs to be brought up to code? Then you’ll owe for every roof in the 8-unit block (at $2M/roof = $16M, Da...

...A Condo Horror Story at Villa del Sol You’d think a property management company would at least know how to manage property. But at Villa del Sol in Fresno, California, Robert L. Jensen & Associates has decided to rewrite the rulebook—by shredding it entirely. On 3 March 2025, unannounced roof work led to mold-contaminated debris being blown directly into my attic, no notice, no protection, and no cleanup. To this day, my roof is still covered in hazardous debris, while the unit owned by a board member (Unit 104) was magically cleared to perfection... 3-weeks AFTER the fact. If this was "complex-wide maintenance," why was a worker on her roof three weeks later, and why was mine never addressed? The short answer: corruption. The long answer: a management company operating beyond its legal authority, CC&Rs that no longer exist in any enforceable form, and a board that’s allowed the HOA to collapse under secretive policies, disappearing reserves, and possible mortgage ...

 ...But We’re Not When I called PG&E about a $1,400 utility bill for 2 months and asked for an investigation into the wiring in the attic, I asked the rep a simple question: “Do you show this as an apartment complex? Or a rental property? Because I’m a homeowner. Not a tenant." When she replied, I knew exactly what was going on: She called Management while I was still on the line. And just like that—the investigation was shut down. “They ( Management ) said it’s fine. You're only paying for one meter. No need to inspect.” They gaslit me live. While I held the truth in my hands. The Slumlord Playbook—Rewritten for HOAs We all know how slumlords operate: Neglect repairs Force tenant out Blame the tenant Evict them Take them to Small Claims Leave them penniless AND homeless [Rinse] and [Repeat] The evicted? Marked for life. Instant homelessness. Nearly impossible to rent again.  But Robert L. Jensen & Associates, Rental Management aren’t chasing rent checks. They’re chas...

There’s a certain level of incompetence you expect when dealing with property management, but every now and then, someone raises the bar—pushing past mere inefficiency into the realm of breathtaking stupidity. Enter Rachelle Dunne, the property supervisor for Robert L. Jensen & Associates, whose email responses are a case study in dismissiveness, selective enforcement, and an outright refusal to provide legally required documentation. Let’s break this down, because it’s too good ( or infuriating ) not to document. --- The Myth of Legally Binding AppFolio Notifications Rachelle, like many of her ilk, has a fascinating approach to legal compliance: just say something is a rule and assume no one will question it. > “We sent notice via email.” Oh? That’s cute. Where’s the proof? There is no CC&R amendment stating that AppFolio notifications override legal requirements for mailed or posted notices. If they believe otherwise, they should be able to provide: -The exact CC&R sec...

... W hat Every Homeowner Should Know If you live in an HOA-controlled community, you’ve probably received a violation notice at some point. Maybe it was for parking, landscaping, or something as trivial as riding a bike or skateboard. But what happens when these fines are unlawful ? Worse yet, what if they are being selectively enforced? That’s exactly the situation I’m dealing with right now. Im currently looking at two (2) envelopes containing  twenty-one (42) violation notices—each charging me $50—for the exact same alleged infraction. But here’s the problem: The HOA’s 501(c)(4) tax status legally prohibits them from charging arbitrary fines. They can only impose fees that cover the actual cost of repairing damages. If there’s no damage, there’s no legal basis for the fee. The HOA’s CC&Rs don’t support this violation. If a rule isn’t clearly documented in the governing documents, the board cannot legally enforce it. Selective enforcement is illegal. If the HOA is...

What has happened, and continues to happen, to me isn’t just a personal loss—it’s part of a much larger, calculated scheme. HOA-governed condo complexes are being hijacked and converted into high-dollar corporate rental properties. The playbook? Use fraudulent foreclosures and substandard maintenance to force out individual property owners, all while piling HOA fees onto remaining residents to fund perks that benefit corporate investors—not the people actually living there. There's a local "Rental Management" Co. spearheading this illegal conversion. If you're from Fresno, or a surrounding County in the San Joaquin Valley, you'll probably recognize their name. My case is just one example, but it’s exposing a pattern. And it’s time people started paying attention. I have launched a GiveSendGo campaign to cover immediate costs, but more importantly, to keep fighting this fight. Because if they can do it to me, they can do it to anyone. More details soon. Stay tuned....
