An invitation to steal

I would just get one of those vinyl wraps that look like the inside of a garage and put it on my door.

But people could tell it's fake and snitch you out, the warning on it that say "Contains substances known to the state of califuckheads to cause cancer" will give it away!

HOA's and ME will never be in the same neighborhood, I don't like being told what I can and can't do at my house.
 
Not so fast..........could be a good thang

I used to thank this, until recently when my olde buddy that loves to wheel moved to hampstead and became the head of the HOa.

On another note I don’t have a invitation to steal, but a license to ill:huggy:
 
Is it illegal to rent out a room in your house in that town? hostel? bed and breakfast? WTF does a garage have to do with this?

People were letting people stay in their garage. Also the way that place looked and having an office at the front i would bet those are all rented duplexes, if that’s the case it is probably illegal to sublease a room.

Many HOAs are shitty. Fortunately I live in a neighborhood that is very mild an the HOA is cool.

But, this HOA in the article is all kinds of dumb. OK, so there is a rule that you can't turn your garage into an apartment. Fine, enforce that rule and move on. But it's dumb to enact a new absurd rule simply because one homeowner broke the rules.

Many HOAs are different in structure and rule making, but I don't know how anyone could be forced to leave their belongings unsecured with a new rule by the HOA. The new rule seems like an excessive response to a minor rule violation. Dumb.

Many HOAs are very good at doing that. "You missed the deadline for taking down Christmas lights! We're going to make an example of you!"...

Yeah, that's dumb.

Some are that bad most are not, and some are a pleasure to work with, like ours.

I'm trying supposed to park the boat or trailer in the driveway, but one or the other bass been there most of 2017, no complaints or letters. It's nice to have a HOA that is reasonable and some common sense.

But, that HOA in Cali could kiss my ass. I wouldn't leave my garage door open all day while I was at work. What if someone worked out of town during the week? What then? Dumb

I think you pegged it. They said an HOA meeting will be in a couple of weeks where owners could address it. But guess who the renters are NOT? Probably no owners at all would be at meeting, managing company holds all the proxy votes, and it stays as it is. Occupants/renters have no say in it.
 
1) The article touched on legal reasonability, but 2) the thing I would think would carry more weight is, I doubt the HOA contract people signed had any verbiage surrounding this topic. Unless it said something along the lines of 'by signing this you comply to future revisions that will supersede the current contract'. To me, #2 would be where there is more legal standing. Now if these are rental situations, fine, don't want to comply...enjoy finding some place when your lease expires.

I always said I'd never live in an HOA either, and agree the article is stupid, and the reason I always said I wouldn't...but the neighborhood I'm in now has one and is pretty relaxed. I have 5 vehicles parked outside, 3 of which don't run and haven't even been tagged in 3+ years. The focus for my HOA is more property presentation to maintain surrounding property values...ie condition of the house, condition of yard and paying a couple hundred bucks a year to pay for street lights/landscaping in public areas. There was one neighborhood I was looking at though, that dictated what direction mowed your lawn each week, and averaged about 4 violations/month and would go to court over it about once a quarter. So there are good and bad HOA's. Based on what my attorney's have told me, the key to enforcing HOA bylaws, is enforcing the HOA with no exceptions...if someone can provide proof that Sally got away with the same thing, or even that another rule is ignored or not enforced, the whole thing can come crumbling down.

That's how the condo was that I had out in Edenton. Half the units were rented out by owners in other states. So the owners weren't there, and the renters are subject to the HOA rules, but no say in them. They had their 'board meetings' the last Thursday of every month at 10am...so no one that had work would be there. That left crotchety old retirees that were bringing forward the complaints in the first place.

That's the problem. Sooner or later, somebody will buy a house in the neighborhood that has a problem with such things, they'll file a complaint, and the HOA has a statutory obligation to enforce the rules, up to and including putting a lien on your house.
 
I live in a HOA, sort of. It's a ten year old development and they've never taken up dues. But the terms were very lax and agreeable with me, so we moved here anyways.

But this is small town Marion, NC.

Anyone who lives in California is a fool.
