Boy, that is an awkward situation--for everyone involved. Sorry you got caught up in the middle of it.

Yrs, awful position to be in. I suspect the friend knew something was coming, or why did she ask about the meeting? How did she know it was happening? People don't like being called out on what they know they shouldn't be doing... But those are the rules she agreed to, and they protect her too from someone opening a yoga studio or hair salon etc. You did nothing wrong.

Thank you! The HOA is required to announce when the board is meeting, even if no one else is invited. So she was understandably curious as to why we were meeting.

I did ask the president how the business came to her attention and she said she was walking in the neighborhood and some of the son's clients were having trouble finding the house and stopped to ask directions. Wrong person to have asked! She went home and started googling and the rest is history...
