should they just keep reducing the price until it sells, and what should be done until then. Thats my question. Ive seen all the The Rules Must Be Enforced posts, but the reality of the situation is that the house hasnt sold yet, and according to the story they cant afford to move until it does. So should they be evicted from their property.
They're in a position not unlike thousands of people are in all across the country, insofar as selling goes. So yes, I say do whatever you have to do to sell, price-wise.
Forgive me for not knowing, but did they take any steps to have their HOA bylaws amended; i.e., did they petition the community during these years they were in violation, etc.? Let's not forget that HOA rules are, after all, subject to the votes of the communities that elect them.

I have no idea. I know what the article said and it didn’t mention any rule change petitions. The grandmother did agree in writing to have this settled last year. She said her daughter was supposed to take custody again but then ran off.

Their position is a bit different. They didn’t knowingly buy a house they couldn’t afford. The article states they didn’t buy this house so the argument of “they should have thought of this before they bought it” doesn’t really apply. While the story doesn’t mention it, I’m sure the pay property taxes on the house. I’m not sure how taxes are applied to inherited real estate. I think selling their house is the solution, but until they sell it they should be left alone. As far as reducing the price again, that should be considered while at the same time they shouldn’t be forced to “give” their house away.
