If you're not a member of the HOA, the moment an HOA comes at you, lawyer up immediately and tell them to go pound sand. Most HOAs will avoid court, especially if they have no legal right to force fees or bylaws on you.
If I had an HOA that I wasn't a part of and tried to tell me what colors I can paint my house. I'd be prick enough to paint my house in florescent lime green with purple trim and a bright orange front door.
HOA Karen story: Sometimes it requires a serious threat to one's pocketbook to get the message across. Mind I expect she insisted her lawyer husband check to see if they were any ways around it before complying. Also why does it seem that some of the worst people end up on HOA boards.
This is going to happen every time their is overreaching by any home owners associations and the hoa sending the violation letters to collect fines from is just giving the evidence to the home owner of their illegal actions making it an open and shut case with practically no defense for the hoa.
Often times the actions of these HOA's are dictated by just 1 or 2 individuals that THINK they have more powers than they actually do. If the rest of their 'constituents' knew what they were up to with HOA resources they'd be in trouble.
The MINUTE any hoa start their unauthorised bs you go straight to court and file restraining orders and personally sue every member of the hoa board for harassment.
So many stories following a similar format also what law is on the books says property value is protected over the rights given to everyone in the United States
Idk HOA, never heard about it in Canada. Maybe in some cities people have been sucked into having a HOA...dont think do. Why would anyone want to live under a HOA?? Not me! We have condominium associations but do little other than voting on rentals or policing noise bylaws, giving financial or maintenance reports.
Where i'm from utility companies takes utility theft VERY serious, you illegally hook up to someone elses power/water? Be prepared to be dragged to court and might even have to sell your house to pay the fines, and good luck when trying to sign up to an utility company after, they have a "black list", they can refuse to do business with you and even if they want to, you're going to get the WORST rates they can hit you with. So if it had been me I would've simply called my utility provider ("I think someone might be siphoning water from my line"), they would send an inspector within 2 days, the moment they found the illegal connection all hell would break loose and I would just need to lean back and watch them tear the theif a new one, and if he was a costumer with them too they could terminate it instantly.
save to say they are just use stories from reddit, would say HOAs aren't dumb enough to push outside their boundaries, but not too hard to google and find actually cases of Hoas abusing their power inside their territory. Do know of an HOA that wouldn't allow Christmas decorations unless they were a certain color....not exactly something to sue over though, just dumb
@mr.s2005 Certainly these stories have their origins in the personality traits of those who commander an HOA board. Throughout the country there may have been a few incidents of this occurring, but not to the frequency that these stories are appearing on various social media outlets.

i just don't see why more HOA residents don't vote to dissolve the HOA..........
TROLLS everywhere but I don't care.
At the end of the day we're O.K.
Cause we don't have no H.O.A.!

Paint every wall, window panel, door and door frame a different color and every board of the fence (if a wooden board fence, like a picket fence) too.
No matter what the cost was, it would be totally worth it.

The HOA can't do anything about mailbox post height. Mailbox height is a US Postal Service regulation.
Blue Door Rebellion. That is just epic! Gotta love when there actually becomes a nickname to the Event itself!
