Just curious.

If I buy into a property that has an HOA and the CCR's have no restrictions on say, parking in a driveway. Several years down the road, the HOA decides that they will add a new rule that says no parking in driveways or the street (typical I might add). Sadly, your vehicle is too long to fit in the garage, a Suburban for instance or a full size Caddy, or you own more than 2 vehicles.

By the logic of this decision I have no option than to sell my vehicles, almost surely at a loss.

And I have no recourse?

I bet there would be lawyers lined up around the block to sue and I believe they would win my case for me.

In my mind, this case is a "taking" of my property.

I would not take this lying down.

And for the record, I don't smoke.

Cheers,

If the HOA had as part of what you signed when you bought that the rules could be changed, you are out of luck



Besides rather than suing and being tied up in court, you might better spend the mney on a new car.

BTW those lawyers lined up to take your case wouldn't give a poop about you or your smoke. They would line up for the fees. Lawyers are not your friends. All they do is run up bills for you to pay and they will put liens on your smoking condo or big fat car to get paid.
