I understand your point and agree.

That doesn't change the fact that the consequences for your unwitting neighbor, friend or ward member could be really severe.

Also, what about changes in rules or circumstances? That isn't quite as clear cut as someone just not paying attention. Still, the law would agree with your position.

Is it true HOA’s have no legal authority? Meaning they can’t actually force them

They have legal authority. At times they also have legal obligation to enforce

No. That isn't true at all.

That sucks. Seems like they shouldn’t have real power.

Lieutenant America

It's a contract. You give them the power when you move in.

It’s to the point in some communities being outside of one isn’t even an option.

I agree with the HOA. A kid shouldn’t be living in a 55+ community. People around them bought

Typically, even 55+ communities can allow some children.

Follow-up. If the kid was younger than 18 he could stay under HOPA

Problem is I’m sure they were fine and happy with the rule, until tragedy struck

The reality though is that almost no one reads all the rules beforehand.

If someone doesn’t read the rules it isn’t their neighbors’ problem
