'RHOA' Star Eva Marcille Sued By Her Homeowners Association For Alleged Violations

10:32 AM PT -- Eva's lawyer, Michael T. Sterling, tells TMZ ... “Let me be absolutely clear: Eva Marcille Sterling is NOT going to lose her home over weeds in her lawn or a vehicle parked outside her residence. Period."

Michael continues, "I intend to fight this HOA at every turn to protect her property, defend her rights, and hold those responsible accountable. No homeowners association should be allowed to weaponize fines, fees, and liens to intimidate homeowners, particularly over minor violations that should never escalate into a threat against someone’s home."

Eva's attorney adds, "Georgia has already sent a clear message with the passage of the Georgia Property Owners’ Bill of Rights Act: homeowners deserve protection from HOA overreach, abusive enforcement practices, and the misuse of fines, fees, and liens. This legislation represents an important step toward greater transparency and accountability, and I intend to pursue every legal remedy available to ensure Eva’s rights are protected."

"This is about more than one homeowner," Michael points out. "It is about protecting the fundamental right to homeownership and ensuring that homeowners associations are not permitted to abuse their authority or use their power to harass and intimidate the very people they are supposed to serve."

Eva's lawyer ended by saying, "Eva will not be bullied, intimidated, or threatened out of her home. We will challenge every improper action, demand accountability, and fight this matter as far as the law allows. They picked the wrong homeowner to push around, and they picked the wrong attorney to stand in her way.”

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' alum Eva Marcille is being dragged to court for allegedly being an awful neighbor ... and her homeowners association is behind the legal action.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the HOA where Eva owns a 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom mansion worth $1.8 million in Atlanta claims the reality star has received numerous notices about violations of the neighborhood's maintenance standards.

The HOA claims Eva has been dinged for failing to treat weeds, mow the lawn, remove inoperable cars from the driveway, maintain current registration, and keep trash cans out of public view.

According to the suit, Eva was given sufficient opportunity to make changes and get into compliance but has failed to do so.

Now, the HOA is seeking more than $22K in past assessments and fines from the reality star ... and it wants the judge to order her to clean up the issues and comply with the maintenance standards ASAP.

Eva has yet to respond to the lawsuit.
