Nobody asks you to buy in a place where there is a HOA
But do you accept that a group of people who elect to buy a property where there is a HOA have the right to do that and to expect others to honor a contract they signed?
I would not live in a commune but I won't deny anyone's right to do so. And I will defend anyone's right to paint his house lime green, to put cars on blocks in his front yard, to have massive parties of teens and play loud music, to not mow his yard,,,IF THERE IS NO LAW AND NO RULE AGAINST IT THAT HE IS REQUIRED BY LAW OR BY CONTRACT TO OBEY.
From what I understand, the subject of this post was after the fact of the contract signed.
