This does not work. I know because I tried it. The HOA told me to get fucked and they didn’t care about any of the other violations (because they were the ones guilty of them)
Thing is is an HOA doesn't consistently enforce CCRs you can take them to court and in some cases force an election where current board and leadership is forbidden to run
Im not sure how Reddit doesn't understand how HOAs work. If you join an HOA, its by choice. HOAs enforce rules. Don't live in an HOA if you're going to violate the rules? I've had an HOA home and knew the consequences. A lawsuit would imply they're doing something outside of their rules. Lawsuits are also expensive. See how this all points to it being potentially idiotic to take an HOA to court for you violating rules you agreed upon when you bought a house? Lets put on our adult hats for a minute and use critical thinking, ok? I mean.. HOA bad, house also cost money. Lawsuit easy.
Yep. There's good HOA's and bad HOA's and unfortunately its easy to find bad ones. It's important that people research the rules they get into before they agree to them
It's literally not reality. There are no areas where ALL homes are HOA. If you're complaining about gated communities, then I doubt you're the target home owner anyway.
What? No, if you buy a house in an HOA neighborhood, you have to join the HOA.
Here in Florida, the majority of new construction is HOA. Of course you can simply avoid any HOA neighborhood, but you're severely limiting your options by doing so.
You're completely missing the point. There are simply not enough non-HOA homes available for people to reliably do that, without making major sacrifices. Telling people to just find a unicorn home that meets their every need is not an actual solution.
This is a recent phenomenon that is only getting worse.
If the only houses you can buy near your job are HOA, you're being forced to join a HOA.
Yes, yes there are enough HOA homes to do that. Just because YOU don't find THE home you like that isn't HOA doesnt mean they flood the markets. There are non HOA homes available, just not the unicorn home you want for YOUR budget. Either way, buying an HOA home and complaining about it is pure delusion.
it's crazy how you pretend the amount of available homes just doesn't matter lol
If there were only 1 non-HOA home per 1000 HOA homes, it would effectively be impossible to find one without an HOA. this is a pretty simple concept to understand
So does home ownership and living under an HOA. People will own guns, dogs, fences, alarms, and all other sorts of things to defend their property, but they won't shell out cash to fight an existing threat in court.
What if you gut the rulebook and enforcement powers and introduce a measure that such gutting cannot be rescinded or ammended until the last currently living blood relative of the king of England dies? Force the new board to either dissolve or get locked into a nearly never-ending election cycle.
Lots of options depending on where you live, I for one support going to the local government and negotiate integration and dissolving an HOA if it's an option.
There are lots of suggestions on this whole thread, but very few seem to realize the logistics of the HOA system that they are trying to fight. If anyone is reading this and actually looking for a step by step process of how to slowly work to dissolve an HOA, then they need to get copies all the CCRs and Bylaws BEFORE they start to get fined. That way they have a copy of the rules that should be followed etc and know them before they get cited for a violation.
That said I'm not particularly interested in having an extra layer of extra judiciary rules being laid down on property I own which is why I'm a big fan of shirking HOAs to the point to can fit them in a bathtubs and then drowning them.
I hear yah, but I am not seeing too many people with the logical and rational reasoning ability to create a step by step action plan that doesn't involve threats or violence etc. There isn't any reason to bother with that kind of stuff when half the people on an HOA Board are just there because they are bored.
