Good for the judges!!!!!!!!!!!! And your sister for standing her ground!!!!
HOA’s are evil and run by busybody control freaks, IOW, democrats who are big fishes in small ponds. They are a dictator wannabes.
IMO, anything already on the property when the HOA was established is exempt from any HOA rules , even is she did choose to join. You cannot make it retroactive as nobody can reasonably expect to live their live s as if an HOA is in their future. They cannot be responsible to follow rules that were not in effect when they took their actions of putting stuff in and should not be required to remove ANYTHING.
You mean for the sister of the author.
But some in government seek to be as extreme HOA admins.
