>> I HATE hoa's ours are total nazis about the most ridiculous stuff and the #1 reason I wanna get the heck outta Kingwood.
@thetarget9:
Exactly!!! Is there a way to mediate their hateful, harassing actions? Does anyone know an atty. who can help?
@L&Cexp5: They can send letters all they want, but really have no power. I just ignore their letters at this point. We have done so much work to the outside of our home since we bought it in 2011 and made the home look amazing compared to what it was. Do we have some rotten siding? Yes. Do I sometimes have stuff in my drive way that I am not supposed to? Yes. Do I give a **** what the HOA says/thinks? N.O.P.E. I wrote them a letter once and said that until every house in the neighborhood looks like it is out of a Stepford movie and/or they start contributing to the repairs of my home, they can shove it. **And my husband was on the board at the time! Listen, rotten siding, cracked driveways, non-edged curbs, etc. are meaningless. There are so many homes in each of our communities that are derelict yet they are not doing anything about it. Know why? Because, obviously, those people/homes give zero ****s. So they go after the conscientious people because they know they will get a reaction. A friend of mine is a police officer in VA. She has told me on more than one occasion that when she has to opportunity to pull over two cars, a beater or a sports car, she will always go after the beater; because it is easier. The beater is less likely to "know someone" and make a scene. They will pay the ticket/fine and go away. A person who has a super expensive care will more than likely "know someone" or at least claim to. It is too much of a headache. Much the same with the HOA's. They go after the little stuff because they know they can scare you. If someone has a home that is a ****hole, it is beyond caring so it is not worth it to them. So try your best to keep your home nice, and tell the HOA to go shove it!
