CONTACT 13: Community manager ordered to pay $1.6 million to HOAs

Dozens of Home Owners Associations are out a ton of money. Over a million bucks all together. Contact 13 finds out who took it and how they got away with stealing homeowners' money.

Community Association Managers are supposed to look after homeowners and their HOAs.  But the Nevada Real Estate Division says one manager was only looking out herself.

Contact 13 obtained this order from the Commission for Common-Interest Communities.  It says community manager Leslie White defrauded 34 HOAs out of more than $1.6 million. White took much of that money after surrendering her community manager certificate. 

Real Estate Division investigators found fraud and hundreds of violations of state law with the two businesses white ran under the names Associated Community Management and Path Community Management.

The state says White used electronic signatures to transfer money that was not approved by HOA boards. And one of her companies "...was paid in excess of its contract for virtually every association it managed."  

White has 60 days to cough up nearly $3 million dollars.  That includes fines and fees to the state and restitution to the HOA's. 

We tried to contact her, but the phone numbers we found were disconnected. 

The case has been turned over to the Attorney General's office for possible further action.
