Homeowners accuse HOA of overstepping after ABC Action News report 

🤣🤣🤣

Same. Heck, add werewolves & Bigfoot too. Way better than an HOA! 💯 .

Exactly!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Yeah, zombies aren't real... but if you really think about it... the zombies (brainless walkers are indeed the HOA)

@@genebodjtb 💯

I know that is right! Don’t walk, but run. You see how they are treating you and you hadn’t even moved in

I think it is because the home owner was renting out some of the house. It could be against the rules to have a 2 family house rental. Proving the garage is for autos only would end that issue. ( a guess)

@@irwinsaltzman979 except the way I’m understanding this is that the HOA refused to return to inspect and affirm that new condition

My HOA covenants say that you can’t convert garages to rooms and that the homes require three car garages. With the new rules i am waiting to see what the new wording looks like.

IM WONDERING, IF THE NEW BUYER WAS WHITE... LOOKS LIKE MOST OF THE ISSUES THE HOA HAS ARE WITH AA IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO SOMETHING SMELLS OF DISCRIMINATION AND IT'S COMING FROM THE HOA!!!

this is what I don't understand either!

Agreed. I live in a non-HOA neighborhood and it’s great! Dude up the street from just built a 20 ft tall garage for his motorhomes with no issue. I’ve forgot to take my bins in immediately after they are emptied with no harnessing letter in the mail. I can park my vehicles on my own property wherever I want. We got our house painted and didn’t have approval for it. Fuck HOAs.

@@lopilkderlll Amen!

@@lopilkderlllLOVE my SAFE no HOA home and neighborhood.

So, who will pay for snow removal & street repairs?

@@jackwilson3121 The city pays for street repairs and I live in Florida so it doesn’t snow. Even when I lived in Colorado in a HOA neighborhood, they hardly ever plowed my street. That’s why you need a 4WD/AWD vehicle if you live in a place that gets a lot of snow.

They don't. You ain't coming in my house!

When you move there, you sign an agreement agreeing to the rules. If you don't like/agree with them, don't live there.

Loud and crystal clear!

The seller was hispanic. It seems like the entire community is affected by the HOA not just certain people.

not necessarily, common behavior or HOAs

yup, obey rules or dont live there

@@PipeDoctorthey aren’t rules. Weirdo.

Just the idea of buying a home to live like it’s an apartment weird…homeowner with a landlord

Right. It sounds real crazy. What a nightmare for anyone going through this.

Be careful of imminent domain.

@@laurenbraden7317 Small correction, Eminent Domain. But that would apply with or without an HOA.

In Australia we have local councils that are like HOA's that make life a living hell for people trying to build, chop down trees, land use and many more...... lucky for them they got everyone to hand in their guns many years ago, or shit might get real..... HOA's in USA seem to be the same power crazy thang

Your racism is showing

​@@DixiecratDemocrat No, THEIR racism is showing.

​@@DixiecratDemocrat You are a criminal

The HOA prez signing those documents last name is Houssain so I think you’re projecting. What about the white blonde that lost 20k? She’s not “highly melanated”? 🙄

@@Doomedmandy77 The "white blonde" was trying to SELL her home to a person who was "highly melanated"!!! The HOA obviously didn't want the "highly melanated" person to live in their community.

HOA'S ARE NOTHING BUT EXTORTIONISTC BULLIES. I WOULD NEVER BUY A HOME WITH A FKN HOA ATTACHED. I HATE TH3M.

I've lived in my home for 11 years with an HOA and never had any issues.

@@HeatherWho11.10 YOUR LUCKY

@@amandaflynn5835 not really. I just follow the rules I agreed to follow upon moving here.

@@HeatherWho11.10The problem with most hoas nowadays is they don’t make the rules clear enough. Sometimes they would change them without notice.

I agree

My thought too

I agree.

Exactly what I thought!!

It certainly does.

They do it to other races too. It’s not a black thing.

The woman selling the home had a Hispanic name tho. So it might just be discrimination to POC.

These people are high on being in charge.

Always a victim, right? 🤡

It's a combo in my eyes. It's a racist high on power.

And if they all got together and hired a lawyer the cost for each one would be lower

Cash buyer was white that’s the difference

It's scary how this type of stuff is once again becoming a part of mainstream and no longer even done in secret. Everything is changing very swiftly. We need to take notice, because it's happening very fast. I'm genuinely afraid.

Cash would've made absolutely no difference to the HOA president as they get no kickbacks on home sales. You know what is going on here.

@@Rooster8741Actually, they can. HOA’s can stop the sale of the home or even the realtor you’re allowed to use. Some HOAs use fines and violations to drive homeowners into foreclosure. Once that happens, the HOA can gain ownership, rent, and resell the house at a profit (to the HOA - of course 😉). Wouldn’t surprise me if the President wasn’t trying to drive homeowners into foreclosure through technicalities and “advertising” potential properties for a kickback under the table.

Please tell me me how. I want mine gone so bad. They are threatening to put a lien on our home if we don’t redo the roof even though there’s nothing wrong with the roof. And I have to use the people they approved of. 😤

Sounds like they have a money exchange with the company. I'd hire a lawyer​@@ketolakay

@ketolakay First-read your by-laws and know what your rights are. Also, do research online. Educate yourself so you can speak with authority. Second-talk to your neighbors and see who is willing to walk around the neighborhood and collect signatures. You need to know what percentage of signatures are needed in your state to oust the board ( recall the board). Third-Mail the petition and a letter through certified mail to all board members, and the property management if they have one. Cost is involved. But if your board is not working, the first step is to get rid of them. It's doable. I have seen it done in multiple communities in our city. You need to work together with the rest of the owners. It can't be just one person. Boards need to be elected yearly. Some states have limits on how many years someone can serve on a board. Florida, for example, has some strict rules. Its up to the owners to make sure the board is doing their fiduciary duty. Otherwise, they need to deal with the consequences. Dont give up. Fight for your home.

@@QAsession I will try. Thank you for all the information.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭

The board will not stand for the community acting like a community.

Seriously

@@klmbunny1 how much was it to get electrical and water ran to your land? They say that’s soooo expensive….

The only way the HOA will be bankrupted by lawsuits is if every homeowner is bankrupt. Special assessments to make them pay all legal fees.

It doesnt matter if they are real or forged, no one can MAKE you sign on to form an HOA.

​@radolfkalis4041 you're correct

@@radolfkalis4041 It would still be interesting to see if all of the signatures are real…,

That doesn't matter. EVERYONE has to be in agreement to form an HOA, not just a couple people.

Then don’t buy a house in an HOA. You cannot tell a developer what he can and cannot do with this property. We do not live in a dictatorship.

Security, Cleanliness. HOA is supposed to maintain the landscape and aesthetics of the community there should not be "fees" or "violations" maybe a 3 strikes warning before a fine is actually issued.

I think commonly out of ignorance, but also the assumption that a well run HOA won't be overtaken by Karens and the mob.

I've lived in my home for 11 years with an HOA and no issues. All the homes and yards are kept nice and presentable looking. But my HOA also isn't racist as the one here seems to be

lol If you think his country of origin has anything to do with his behavior, you are just showing typical American ignorance learning about the world from American television 😂 Educate yourself before you show such ignorance in public! PS: I am not from Iran or have any connection to it whatsoever.

That's what I was wondering

Based on what we can gather from the story, the only lighter skin toned person that the community had has fled. How does your logic sound to you now?

Our assessment is almost $400,000 this year because of higher insurance cost. We own our condo for 10 years and this is the 4th special assessment. Plus, the monthly HOA fees goes up every year now. They closed all 50 laundry rooms in buildings.

@HitsFromThePast Wow!! That's a lot. We understand the cost of living goes up. It sounds like your HOA has documented proof for the special assessment. Mines do not.
