Absentee owners renters causing HOA board problems


Question:

What would you do? I serve on the board of directors for my condo association. I, and other board members are being harassed by a boyfriend of a tenant of one of the homeowners, who now lives on the East Coast. That homeowner refuses to hire a local management company, but also refuses to remedy the situation. If the tenant says that he is not living there, she believes her. If we say that he is there, is causing damage to the building, is harassing board members, is picking fights with other homeowners, creating situations that cause the association to have to spend more money to remedy, she does nothing. We document every event, but often it's difficult to prove that it's him causing the problem. He's not a tenant, but we have no power to do anything about him. Is bringing a lawsuit against the homeowner our solution?
