Lololololol that's hilarious!!!

The HOA is fake. It’s a Karen in your neighborhood that is used to being the president of the HOA and thinks she is still one. Contact the city and ask about HOAs in your neighborhood. Then contact the mortgage company and tell them what’s going on and then the last thing is to contact your lawyer and give him all your information and then have them send a letter to C&D order and then also issue a harassment report

You were angry in the first video, why didn't you follow the suggestion and take legal action? Make the clowns suffer.

Yes. This. Apparently this has become a thing where HOAs try to bully people who aren't actually a part of the HOA. When you buy a house, apartment, condo, etc that is part of an HOA you will have to sign paperwork and be given a copy of the rules and regulations. If you weren't then you are not part of the HOA. An easy test is to force them to produce paperwork proving you are a member. They obviously won't be able to if you aren't part of the HOA.

It's not necessarily in the mortgage paperwork itself, but there should have been a HOA declaration in the closing, or HOA paperwork signed within XX amount of days after the closing (the amount of days depends on what town/county/state your in), and the deed will reflect if the property is in an HOA or not.

Yup. communication of a threat and proof of harassment via email.

What you are saying is true, but there is something else that needs to be addressed. The threat of making these people have no choice but to sell out and leave. That is considered "Terroristic Threats" which is against the law.

That iis great feedback

We in the one I lived in had two Ms Snoops. They would peer thru the windows of those units that had ground floors. As well as open garages. Even the vehicles parked there got looked into. I got one of them mad one time. I called her dog an 'eagle bait'.

These emails are not from an HOA. Most HOA's have to send a written warning letter and it has to be signed. Find the nearest person who fits the description of a Karen and that will be the one. It could be a man but normally it's a stay-at-home mom. There have been a few studies that show most complaints made in HOA neighborhoods are made by women that have nothing else to do. This all changes if the HOA is in a Florida retirement neighborhood. Then it's the old men whose wives are sick of them sitting around the house all day watching the Game Show Network.

I would file the harassment charges anyways

Anyone who knows IT can easily figure out who this is coming from. Maybe they are interested in his property and want him to put it up for sale so they can buy property

Bingo. This is easily won in court.

@@Jonathan.D As far as I know you are correct. When I ran an HOA we had to do everything through the USPS any notifications or packets or letters all were mailed out. My current HOA does nothing through email all regular mail.

HoAs WILL try to boss those living near one. This includes other farms. Where the owners found their farm under a lien placed there by an HoA as a form of a landgrab. Those HoAs don't care that you are not part of one. They WILL go on a power trip to force folks not in their HoAs to conform to that HoA's 'standards'. This includes trying to force farmers to get rid of their livelihood. They have poisoned the farmer's dogs. Towed vehicles off the land. etc..... If you live outside of one and paint your house not one of 'their colours'. They will try to make you pay fines.

Lived in one once, never again.

im pretty sure any neighborhood at any time can form an HOA. you dont necessarily have to buy into one to get stuck with one.

You have a case for harassment

Definitely save all writings

"we will do as we please in those woods" - that sounds like a threat.

Good advice, I would lawyer up as well just in case!

@ Teresa....Excellent advice about the attorney!

Should be part of his closing. If there's an HOA, the closing attorney should have uncovered it during the title search. If it's not disclosed, there's a good chance there isn't one that's registered with the city.

A scam they made it clear they would make his hell hard until it was financially wise to relocate ! That is a threat !

Must be nice to be able to afford a lawyer!

This might be a case under the Civil Rico Act , threats and the letter proves it . The fines under the act are quit impressive :)

Get get an attorney and sue them, they are harassing you.

I guarantee my attorney would eat theirs alive. I would end up owning those people😂

Excellent advice

That's straight out harrassment

That is what I thought. They intend to get you to move out. That has to be against the law.

@@sheilapurvis6467 Depending on the jurisdiction, it may not be. However, as a civil matter, it is very likely a tort.

You have 2 clear options. #1 Get a very good attorney go fire back at them so hard they will be too busy to mess with you. #2 use the money you would have spent for an attorney to bribe or become the president of the HOA. This is the easiest option if you can swallow ur pride and realize it’s a small price to pay.

100% this

true, non stamped must be applied to the outside of the box, NOT left inside. it’s illegal for them to open your box.

@@kinggzz its illegal for them to affix anything to the outside or the pole as well

First of all, are you even a member of an HOA, and how did that happen? You didn’t mention wether you were or weren’t. These violation letters are not signed. Obviously these COWARDS don’t want you to know who they are, because they don’t want you to retaliate. It’s time you found out the letter writers are. If they are just dropping them in your mail box, it’s time for a surveillance camera. What they are doing amounts to harassment and should be treated as such.

You can call, email, text, send smoke signals or send a carrier pidgeon to the Post Master general and he still wont do a damn thing

@@OutdoorswithErik get a copy of their rules and play their game. Then learn how to write an affidavit and impose financial hardship on the HOA and instigators, then have it arbitrated at a place of your choosing. Good luck

@@samuelnelsen8872 in the absence of said HOA - which other neighbours have confirmed for Erik - that's difficult to do. This is ONE neighbour masquerading as a HOA for reasons of their own. Law enforcement CAN subpoena the details of the email address the threatening, harassing emails were sent from from the relevant internet service provider. That's how you'll find that neighbour. Whether or not these emails are related to the trespassing going on in the wooded parts of the property is another question - they may be or they equally may not be. And the only way to sort that out is to find out who sent the emails. As far as that trespassing is concerned is their a "right of way" or an easement of any kind on that property. It's possible there may well be and the estate agent who sold the property either wasn't aware (yes - a possibility) or was aware but didn't disclose same. If such an easement does exist - there's not much that can be done. If not - & the HOA threats & trespassing are NOT linked - again, I don't know that much can be done sans fencing (which keeps out the wildlife). I have 436 sq m in suburbia and no front fence. And I've had people on my property in the dead of night. I live in a dead end court

further to prior And I've had peeps drive all the way down to the end of the road just to do a uturn.

Well so good so far. I wonder what recourse you will have when your neighbor never mows their lawn, keeps an extra car parked on the front lawn, doesn't replace dead trees, uses duct tape to keep broken windows from falling apart....get my drift?
