[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's beneficial to block texts - what if there is a true emergency.
I would set an expectation, by not responding, until the next morning - as has been said, some people see texting as similar to voicemail to be responded at when available, while others think it requires a faster more timely response.

I'm a landlord and I can't speak to her crazy, but I deal with a nutso HOA and this kind of crap does happen often in my community as well (fines without warnings, lies being told on certain homeowners, retaliation. I was HOA president before I moved away, and the people are the board now are malicious, incompetent, nasty dolts, but no one else wants to do it and it's a small community so the pot to draw from is tiny - and I warned my tenant about it before they moved in, I'd sell the property if it still wasn't upside down).
And, if I got a letter indicating that a fine was being levied, I would absolutely expect my tenants to pay the fine they incurred.
That said, I would help my tenants in any way possible to counter their allegations, if they believed this to be issued falsely.

Please consider approaching her as working together instead of it being a series of problems you must contend with, especially if you enjoy living there.

FWIW - my first set of tenants were former co-workers, and she used to text me at 3am over BS I couldn't do a thing about (a fire alarm going off in another building). I set a DND on my phone and told her if it was a true emergency, I needed a call after 10pm - and bc of the DND maybe two or three in a row to trigger the DND to allow the call through. That way I wasn't bothered by her stupid texts, but she knew how to get ahold of me in a true emergency.
