Ayn Harding writes sharp, funny, and uncomfortably honest books about the wild world of homeowner's associations. Drawing on real-life HOA chaos, her HOA Survival Series blends humor, strategy, and straight talk to help homeowners keep their sanity and their rights intact.

When she isn’t decoding violation letters or untangling bylaws, Ayn is crafting practical survival guides that make readers laugh out loud while learning how to push back smart. She believes the best way to deal with overzealous boards is to outsmart them with knowledge and a good sense of humor.

She lives in the U.S. and loves coffee, quiet mornings, and neighborhoods with just enough drama to make things interesting.

Quotes by Ayn Harding (?)

“Don’t be that neighbor who leaves a reindeer guarding the lawn in March, or you’ll earn yourself a starring role in the violation log.”
