HOAs gonna HOA...

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

Lieutenant America

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

garyfan

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.

Theoretically it’s also ran by competent people well versed in contracts and

I disagree. The stricter the better. The more active and heavy handed the HOA is

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

Article says he is 15.

Maybe it was a little different issue. I'll see if I can find the pleadings.

I would bet everyone else in the HOA is happy. They moved there for a reason

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

BYUFootballisBack

Agreed they should have given them more time to figure it out

KSwiss

But then again the article says the grandson moved in sometime in 2018

KSwiss

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

YSMACK

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

I understand your point and agree.
