Neighbors fed up with HOA parking rules

[@bigrigross]

HOA's infuriate me. My brother had a house in the country. Eventually they began building next to him. He has a nice house but nowhere near what they were building. He also had a lot of land. A development was put up next to his house and about 9 properties backyards were connected to my brothers field. HOA president came over when I was visiting trying to get him to mow his grazing field for his two horses. They also tried to force him to sign a document for him to become apart of the HOA. Almost all of the neighbors were ass hats. So one day, my brother asked me to help him put up a fence along that side. We installed a 7 foot high cedar wood fence along that portion of the property. We installed the face on our side and painted the other side the brightest orange and pink we could find and put up all sorts of gawdy things all over it along the entire run. The hilarity that ensued was pure enjoyment. Everything from the cops being called, to threatening letters, to even a court summons. Of course they all failed because it was private property that built before the HOA was formed. It really got fun when I helped him do a controlled burn on that part of the field. They called the fire department which worked out because they used it as a training day for them on how to handle brush fires.

[@bigrigross]

When I bought my house, I told the realtor that I dont even want HOA houses listed which cut our options down 1/4. I live in the country now. Will be awhile before they come this way.

[@armymatt83]

you should have put up flood lights facing out on top on the fence hooked up to generators and a train horn just to piss then off with lots of light and noise maybe drive back there and do donuts or put some speakers up and blast the audio from gay porn. lol

[@jamesshanks2614]

Ross Lewis Tell your brother he needs to start raising hogs in that area next to the fence or the easier way is hire a hog farmer to deliver and spread hog manure all over that corner of the pasture. That ought to get the hoa freaking out. Think about it " your Honor I was simply improving my pasture by spreading fertilizer on the land. Try and find a judge that will agree with the hoa, I'll bet his Honor will have a hard time not laughing.

Had a friend buy a nice 20 acre lot that bordered with an HOA. He hadn't moved into his house a full week before they knocked at his door. They thrust a paper at him where the previous owner had agreed to abide by their strictures and he had agreed that he would add to the deed any future owners would sign the HOA. He told them to get fucked, slammed the door in their face and called his lawyer. After double checking deed there was nothing about this so, he went on about his business. Wasn't long before the threatening letters started and before long, it went to court. He won, including his legal fees. He then built a dirt track on the HOA side so he and his buddies could race motorcycles and ATVs and party hearty every weekend.

I drove team with an owner operator friend of my mine and we had a trailer full (48 footer) to deliver to a house in a private run development. The customer was the first house sold in the entire development and three asshats showed up when we parked in front of the house which was finished and told us we had to remove the truck from the property and use a small 1 ton van to deliver the furniture. a bulldozer from the contractor attempted to pass the 18 but the asshatts were blocking the road with their pickups. Bulldozer asked them to move their trucks and they told him to sit and rotate. Next thing we knew the dozer started forward gathered all three pickups pushed them past the 18 then raised his blade and drove over all three trucks with the Cat D-11R. Ya shoulda seen those idiots freak out. They lost in court when the contractor pointed out to the judge that he had inserted a paragraph to move any vehicle out of his equipments way. Judge read that part of the contract looked at the three idiots and said if you don't know what your signing don't try to sue when you have no legal standing. Then they found out two months later the first home buyer never signed the form to join the hoa. The hoa hadn't registered with the county so he doesn't have to join.

[@phlodel]

Sorry, but no. HOA rules do not cover public streets, at least in California. Anybody with a legally registered, road legal vehicle can park on public streets unless there is a legal no parking sign. These have to be issued on a case by case basis. Lots of little Hitlers set parking restrictions on public streets for fun and profit, so this is specifically illegal. An HOA can't forbid the use of public streets because they don't own them.

[@heywoodjablome6764]

If you agree to the terms set forth by the HOA, then you must abide by the terms. You can't sign the contract and then bitch about it. Those that signed the contract are bound by it, those that did not are not bound by it.

[@teamhex]

It doesn't cover public streets in Texas either.

[@Milesco]

@ Heywood Jablome (and by the way, my answer is "no"): Real estate and community development law is outside my area of expertise, but I have to seriously question whether an HOA can prohibit a homeowner from parking on a public street. I don't see how the HOA has any authority over that. Contract or not, the HOA doesn't have unlimited jurisdiction. This is even more true in this case, where the parking rules restrict vehicles to garages, driveways, and "designated areas". It doesn't actually prohibit parking on the streets. It may be true the public street isn't a "designated area", but that's because it's not an "area" at all! That is, a city street is not part of the community area that is owned by the HOA. So the parking restriction as written in the rules doesn't even apply (assuming there was any legal theory under which it otherwise even _could_ apply -- that is, assuming the HOA could somehow exert authority over city land).

Secondly, anyone visiting a house and parking in the pubic street, didn't sign anything. So they aren't bound by some dumb HOA rule!!! Really, should never live in a HOA.

JB Dragon it’s a gated community. Not a public street. The community is responsible for all maintenance of the roads. It does suck though. Especially with those short driveways.

Yet no politician, lawmaker, lawyer, judge, department or agency has stepped in to address how these associations screw so many people and their families.

[@a1scooter1]

Here's a hint. The HOA agreement is between the home owner and the HOA. There is absolutely nothing the HOA can do about any citizen, regardless of where they live, parking in front of any house as long as it's parked legally. In other words, if I'm driving down the road and for whatever reason I decide to park my car legally and then walk to my house 10 miles away, the HOA can do nothing about it.

[@Elliandr]

a1scooter1 so everyone should park in front of the board members houses and then walk to their house. since they're technically not in violation of an HOA agreement not to park in front of their house, they're in the clear. Meanwhile all the board members get all the fines.

[@fredmaxwell9619]

a1scooter You are very very wrong. If the HOA owns the road and in a lot of HOAs they do, when you come back to find your car towed so sorry Charlie. Most HOAs also have gates and they have signs on those gates warning you this is private property and illegally parked vehicles will be towed.

[@Emophiliac2]

Read Fred's reply again. He did clarify that not all HOAs have roads owned by the county. So, the strategy of parking in front of a board member's house is not a fool-proof solution.

What are you, an idiot? The HOA, it's true, can require you to abide by their rules but the one thing the HOA cannot do is lay claims of ownership over streets that are owned by the county or state.

The only way that the HOA could enforce parking rules on county or city owned streets is if they go outside the HOA and get a parking ordnance from the city or county.

I bet that it's not about safety, but, about bringing in as much revenue as possible.

[@temujinkhan6326]

This is a money grab. I have been to this subdivision a few times

[@williamkelley7654]

Should have read that long contract instead of just glancing it over and signing away. HOA's suck, but it is the resident's fault for not following the rules.

William Kelley i dont know about the woman in this video, but in my situation, they changed the rules AFTER my family moved in our home. If we knew we couldnt park in the street before hand, we wouldn't hv moved in.

[@jbdragon3295]

If it's a Public Street, I don't see how any HOA can override City owned streets. I'd give them the middle finger. If it's private Roads, that's a different matter.

[@PumpkinKingXXIII]

William Kelley, if they didn't read the low contract then there can be no agreement. You can't be held to a contract that you don't understand. There is no meeting of the minds.

They over reach and push till someone challenges them . You can fight them and more often then not the other board members don't even know that the nit picking is being done . Some members love the extra power .

[@cobracommander...]

If the road is county owned and the county or state allows legal parking on the street wouldn't that supersede any hoa agreements as it would seem legal parking a so called designated area?

[@daveb4841]

Hahaha, you bought in an HOA, hahaha!!

[@ElGatoLoco698]

You're forced to buy into an HOA if you buy a house in the neighborhood.

[@eugenedavis4556]

Maybe there aren't many choices in larger communities but I don't see myself ever buying a home in a HOA controlled area

[@shepd3]

Buy elsewhere then. Or suck it up and play by the rules. PLENTY of places to live without HOA. I'd rather have crips on the left and bloods on the right of my house than live in an HOA.

[@BlackLS1Pontiac]

@@ElGatoLoco698 Not always. I bought my house in a nice good sized neighborhood and there is no HOA.

[@ElGatoLoco698]

I was referring to the neighborhood in the video.

[@fredmaxwell9619]

As svtfast Said this one reason not to live in a HOA but it also prevents people from putting cars up on blocks in their front yard also. I live in a HOA in Florida and you can park on the street only in daylight, so cleaning people, yard workers and etc are ok parking on the street during the day.. After night you have to park in your drive or garage.
