Say GOODBYE! HOA Karen Just Got CANCELLED!

Ай бұрын

HOA Karen's are FINALLY BEING CANCELLED! Florida has new HOA laws that go into effect starting July 1st to start limiting the abuse of power these HOA overlords have had for way too long. It's a long overdue change in favor of property owners and is hopefully the first step in making HOA communities more fair and equitable for everyone.

I lived in an HOA and wanted a few hens for eggs. They were not allowed and they would not talk about it. Some land directly behind our house and bordering the subdivision became available and we bought it. It is unincorporated and there are no rules so I got my chickens and a rooster too. They also controlled how big gardens could be. We eventually sold that house and built a house on the land. We also enjoy bon fires, a huge garden, and letting the grass get a little long if we are busy. It was glorious to learn the HOA called the city to complain about my chickens and they were told there is nothing they can do. 😂

My parents built a house in an HOA. The board would not approve any of their proposed paint colors. The color of the president’s house, which was recently painted, was acceptable to my mom, so she asked what the brand and the color were. Certainly that would provide closure on the issue of paint. He dismissively claimed he did not have the information and was unable to obtain it. The administrator claimed not to have the information on file, which is BS because it had to be approved. The president is an attorney, by the way. Clearly their only interest was in being obstreperous and harassing my parents, and the administrator had been instructed not to provide the information. My mom obtained the information from the painting contractor and submitted it for approval. The board objected to the color. My parents said, “That’s interesting, because this is the color that is on Mr. President’s house.“

There's the other side of the coin in places where the city/county refuses to maintain infrastructure because they consider the sub-division "private". Case in point, many sub-divisions on the Big Island in the State of Hawaii were deemed "private", property owners have to pay (millions) for their own roads, yet the State says they cannot restrict access to the public. Half of the owners refuse to pay HOA/Maintenance fees and it's legal because the sub-D's were formed before these HOA laws were enacted. It's a real mess and has been going on for over 50 years.

This new law in Florida was probably passed because the Real Estate Agents demanded it. I noticed that the agents here would use the lack of an HOA was a sales tool to promote certain properties. Houses in HOAs were probably shunned by certain buyers making them harder to sell. Then the sellers would have to lower the price in order to attract buyers. So essentially, HOAs depress home values, not maintain it, as they want us to believe.

We have soooooo many HOA stories. The worst? A really close friend of our family (more like family to all of us) retired and bought a beautiful brand new home in a gated, HOA neighborhood. Exactly one month to the day, a board member arrived without notice to do an "inspection" of their home...and get this, the inside included. Being new to the whole HOA scenario, the wife welcomed them in. The total "dings" they got added up to 7...and the board member was as only there for a matter of minutes. Seems that if you decide to upgrade your appliances throughout the house, you need to notify the board ahead of time and "get permission" first. That included submitting exactly which appliances you were installing. But the thing that really chapped their asses was the beautiful landscaping they hired a landscaper to install in the rear yard. Mind you it was only dirt when purchased, as all new homes were, They spent $14,000.00 total on it. Artificial turf, curbing, plants with drip systems, etc. They were written up and fined $300 for not submitting blueprints ahead of time. Nothing wrong with what was done, nope, it was all fine. Absolutely beautiful. They were pissed cuz our friends had the audacity to take their solid dirt year yard and beautify it. They appealed it at a board neeting. They lost and get this... they had to pay an additional $200 for administrative board fees.. in other words the board got paid for their time saying you loose, pay it.

Maintenance is a good argument. The HOA where I first lived covered all exterior elements/maintenance, lawn care and snow removal, along with maintenance on about 2 miles of walking trails in our neighborhood.

In theory some covenants and light HOA is good to help maintain an attractive neighborhood and your property values. Nobody wants a true trash collecting, deteriorating eyesore next door with junk cars, old appliances, piles of trash, etc. But many HOAs attract micromanaging busy-bodies who become little tyrants with nothing else to do but harass neighbors. When I lived in HOAs (never again), I would receive nasty letters about the most inane stuff, threats of fines, etc. It was very annoying. In the worst instances, they can charge high HOA fees, squander the money, make huge assessments for collective repairs, use your money for things you don't want or need or agree to, etc. and place a lien on your property if you don't pay.
