HOA's are a cancer growing on american homeownership
You need to read here and elsewhere about the problems that come with HOA's.
You get fines, liens, forclosures, letters from your good neighbors
threatening you with fines for very minor perceved violations. No matter how
good your intentions are the governing documents for a HOA make excessive
and intrusive control possible and likly. HOA boards, elected from the
neighborhood are too close to the neighborhood to be fair and impartial. The
board will have, or feel they have, a fudiciary duty to enforce the rules,
even the most trivial ones, to the fullist extent allowed by law. The
governing documents do not tell them when to stop. The most rule obsessed
people will be on the board or enforcement committies. Other rule obsessed
people will be bringing complaints of violations to the board. The most rule
obsessed people will be most creative at interpiting what is a rule
violation for some people and why, the same, isn't seen as a violation for
some others. It will all be legal. Not everyone will be hurt by the HOA.
Some will be hurt and the rest won't give a shit.
It is getting harder to find a non HOA home. Do some research and see how
lucky you are to not have a HOA.
John D. A happy owner of a HOA free home.
