Hypothetical question

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

property manager stealing from HOA. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 8 years. My monthly rent is $830. I have a written lease.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. But honestly you should verify this with someone who knows your state's laws.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
