I'm a criminal

Recommended Posts

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. :o

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. :S

hmmmmmm, you were there before the homeowner's assn? The basketball hoop was there before the homeowner's assn? Did you know you'd have a homeowner's assn?

I would talk to a lawyer. I would also leave it up.

Fuck the bozos!

Doesn't matter. 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.

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?

Tell me about it. The Condo Association is a pain in my ASS.

I am sure your Dad will be able to help you with it. I know you have the resources you need at work.

To Hell with them!

We Live in a Free Country! I am one of the one's that defends that Freedom. Your Father Defended that Freedom. These B.S. Associations try to take that Freedom from people to make themselves feel important.

Hopefully you can stick it to them!

Keep us Posted.

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. :P

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.

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!

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. B|

I'm so glad i live on 3 acres of my own about 900 feet off the road. These HOA"s sound like Subdivision Nazi's to me.



They are! That's why I sold my condo. If i'm gonna own something, dammit, i'm gonna OWN it! HOAs piss me off! It's ALWAYS something. God forbid someone should go in the pool after dusk. Or that your dog bark while you're not home. Screw that!

Now I rent. . Hey, at least they can't foreclose. I will just rent until I can afford to have something that is mine all mine!

Good luck, Andrea. did they say you had to take it down?

Christ! 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! :P

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. :ph34r:
