skymama 37 #1 December 19, 2003 I just opened a letter from my new Homeowner's association. I'm in trouble. I didn't ask permission before I put up a portable basketball goal for my kids to play with in my driveway. I don't really know if I'm allowed to have it or not, the subdivision is new and I wasn't given any deed restrictions when I moved in. I have to complete an enclosed form (that wasn't enclosed), or else they will seek legal council. I'm not as bad as some of the other people though. The letter said some people had "visible garbage cans'! It's really sad they're getting me on a basketball goal. I suppose they'd rather have my kids inside playing video games or watching tv and getting fat instead of outside getting exercise. Somebody please come spank me, I am a naughty girl. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An HOA can make it illegal for residents to park on the street. They can cause huge problems for people; resist forming them at all costs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I knew there would be an association before moving in, but I don't recall ever seeing the paperwork on what is allowed. It could very well have been buried in the mountains of paperwork I got at my closing though. I figured I wouldn't be able to put up a pool or fence without approval, but Good Lord, a basketball hoop?She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McDuck 0 #14 December 19, 2003 Geez, Homeowner Nazis are the worst sort. I had some friends who were part of one and they couldn't get away with anything, but two houses down, they were wiping their arses on the front lawn and nobody said a word. Must have been a "who you know and who you blow" issue. There are all sorts of untraceable ways to let the "homeowners association" know that their days are numbered...such as a perpetually dead lawn they can never get to grow.

billvon 3,046 #16 December 19, 2003 >but I don't recall ever seeing the paperwork on what is allowed. It would have been in a document called "the CC+R's" (covenants and restrictions.) We had to sign one. It was full of absurd rules. We also found out that there was no official "head" of the local homeowner's association, and unless someone submitted the paperwork to become the head, the rules were unenforceable. We have considered doing it and making ourselves the head of the local HOA, just so we could set the rules (i.e. meetings once a decade, all complaints must be submitted two years in advance of the meeting.) But then we'd also have to (in a legal sense) actually listen to people complain about their neighbors, and I don't need that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was not in the closing paperwork I am sure. The association should have given it to you when you moved in. Then they will probably want to charge you for it. I am learning that Associations definitely suck. As soon as I get my finances together again I will be buying me a nice size house on land again here in the country. Then come on my property w/o my permission and you will DIE! This is the SOUTH and we are allowed to shoot trespassers!

McDuck 0 #19 December 19, 2003 I also recommend sending subscriptions to disgusting and deviant porn and sending them to their neighbors' addresses in their names. Then, when the nighbors have to start delivering their disgusting porn, perhaps the association will fall apart.

skymama 37 #23 December 19, 2003 QuoteChrist! A letter? What happened to knocking on your door and having a nice neighborly chat about it? We don't have a Board of Directors made up of Homeowner's because this community is so new. In the letter, it said our first meeting is next month and people from the neighborhood will be appointed then. I suppose I'll be going to that. The letter is from a management company. They were "pleased to announce" that they have been awarded the management contract for my association. Woohoo!

Stacy 0 #25 December 19, 2003 my parents moved into a new house just under a year ago. They have had to have EVERYTHIGN approved by the homeowners association- everything from a stone patio to a fence (which had to be made of natural materials and not over a certain height), to types of trees int eh yard to flower bed stuff. Supposedly there are regulations about open garages, etc as well. Screw that. __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
