LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – The tension is high in a condominium complex in Las Vegas, as one person tries to buy all the units and convert them into apartments for rent.
Several property owners have refused to sell their units to the owner of the majority.
“I am stressed,” Robert Rice told the 8 news now investigators. “I don’t know what to do. That is why I am glad that you are here to give us some light. “

Rice said he used his life savings to buy the Las Vegas West Side studio in 2019, but shortly afterwards he felt pressed to sell the device.
Rice is not alone.
“We are harassed,” said Kami Tomasek.

Tomasek and her husband Larry have a unit as an investment, they said.
“This is pure hell from the day I met with this man,” said Dan Cetter’s owner owned as he refers to the owner of the majority.
The owner of the majority, Daniel Wright, agreed to an interview with the 8 news now investigators.
“I have nothing to hide here,” Wright said. “Some people do not like the big landlord or whatever. I have a business plan. I try to prove myself. “
Wright said he and his companies started buying units at Bonanza Park more than a decade and now own more than 100 of 132 units.
“The plan is to take over the whole complex. Everyone knew this plan here, “Wright said. “They’ve known me for years. They have known about the plan for years. This is no secret. “

With each unit that Wright owns, he receives a vote.
After having a problem with insurance coverage due to a fire in one of the buildings in 2021, homeowners pay huge estimates. Rice said he paid $ 9,000. Wright said that the Association of Home Owners is responsible for paying the repair of the ownership of the Community.

One of Wright’s most goals was to completely dissolve Hoa.
“Everything was voted through Hoa. Everything was voted through property. That’s where we’re at that moment, ”Wright said. “Each unit receives a vote. If the owners wanted to buy more units, they can buy more units. “
Sonia Merwelather, the Ombudsman for Communities of Common Interest in Nevada, said the state did not dictate how many votes the owner receives.
“Only by house ownership, you have the management documents that give you some protection, but it also gives you some obligations,” Meriweather told the 8 news now investigators.
The community of common interest can be terminated with 80% of the vote, according to the State Law in Nevada, which Wright insists that he follows.
“I can see where they can feel pushed around, as the huge vote, their vote does not count much in this complex, but there is HOA to protect,” Wright said. “There are certain rules and regulations, and sometimes they are for the benefit of the little boy, sometimes they are in favor of the big person and if they do not like the rules, it is a free country, they can move somewhere else, they could buy more units, they could unite, they could do many things.”
Some of the other property owners claimed that Wright did not offer them enough for their units while Wright insisted that he was offering fair market value.
