And the HOA turned it over to its attorneys.

Good! I hate shabby mailboxes!

I'm undecided who is the most retarded......
The HOA trying to steal his home over retarded shit.....
Or the dumbass homeowner who bought a house in a HOA.
Probably the latter.

ETA......In before the "Mah home value" crowd.

I would end up violating the COC.

There is a law in Florida, from several years ago, that prevents foreclosure over fines.

They can Lein, but cannot forclose.

That's just straight up bullshit. It's the HOA's fault of not sending the notices to the correct address (or to the correct owner).

How does someone who doesnt hold the deed to the property foreclose? What am i missing?

Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever gone into an HOA meeting and just shotgunned the fuck out of their local Nazi party?

Fuck HOAs and fuck people who can't abide by contracts they sign should just about cover every HOA thread.

It's the 2nd time that particular HOA has tried to fuck someone over by charging insane fines and then foreclosing. I'm sure being in the news for trying to steal people's homes is great for property values. I'd be spending some $$$ to get that BOD thrown the fuck out and then foreclose on them.

I have an HOA and I think its fabulous!

This is going to cost the other homeowners and the association some $$$ in attorney's fees and possibly damages for wrongful foreclosure.

HOA isn't going to end up owning his home

Once mailbox is installed, I think it becomes usps property.

My HOA is awesome and I just got on the board. Youngest one there

Only thing I've done so far is made this guy edge his lawn because the grass was growing all over the gutters and clogging them up.

I had an HOA evict me from a rental once because of my old stationwagon, and another HOA tried to steal it in my sleep. I heard the diesel outside and approached the tow truck driver. Plates were current and the driver said it was a disabled vehicle. I opened the door and started it up and drove it around. I attended the HOA meeting and the most ignorant shit I'd ever heard was coming out of their mouths, referring to "college students" causing all the issues, et cetera. I was making $150,000/yr then and was 23 years old. I just happened to love my 1985 Peugeot 505 stationwagon.

I met the attorney for the FL chapter of the ACLU. He told me their entire operating budget is funded by settlements from HOAs.

Allow chipped paint on the mailbox and the next thing you know:

Lol

I wonder what would be cheaper, attorney fees or hiring painters to paint every mailbox in the neighborhood?

When I painted my mailbox it took less than ten minutes and like a tenth of the quart of paint. I let two neighbors use the paint and still had like 3/4 of a quart left.

Can you plant some corn to hide the mailbox?

Wrong.

It is up to the occupant to maintain the box and the area in front of the box.

Not guilty. HOA is directed to repay homeowner for the cost of shotgun shells.

This reminds me. I need to go outside and give my transit bus/rv conversion project a big hug. Maybe start it up and belch thick black clouds of diesel smoke throughout the neighborhood.

What makes it even more funny is the fact my wife is a licensed HOA manager type and told them a year or two into it they should drop it, but noooo...

Thats funny, everybody involved is mentally fubar'd. Maybe someday we'll get a Springer-like show involving HOA disputes, that's where they belong.

Does your HOA board harass you for (insert petty issue here)? Does your nosey neighbors call HOA for parking car 1 1/2" off center in the drive and other imaginary 'issues'? If so, we want to hear about it and get you on the show.

A lot of fucktardery by both sides. Seems like some petty bullshit to go after a homeowner over but people that move into an HOA need to do their homework first. Talk to your neighbors about how the HOA is run. If they tell you it has big problems than you probably need to look elsewhere to live where you can abide by the rules they enforce.

I currently live in a HOA that loves to selectively enforce its bylaws on people it doesn't like and ignore board members and friends.
I'm sure I will be the subject of a HOA hate thread in the near future.

If you live in Florida do you even have a choice to be or not to be in an HOA? Suspect even the trailer parks have them.

Then you and the other unpopular kids need to get involved, run for office and make the HOA work for you. Mrs. Makarov and myself have been down this road 2X. HOAs get out of control because most members don't want to be bothered with it's administration. With this lack of interest, some dim-witted fucktards with too much time on their hands end up with "power" over their neighbors and another Adolph Stalin sits on the thrown, holding court on the cul-de-sac. Seriously, get involved, network and take control of the situation. Yes, self-rule is a pain in the ass. It is much easier to not be involved and then bitch about the tyranny.

To paraphrase something I once heard; HOAs are a fine servant but a terrible master.

After four years of looking for land to build our home in Florida, I can say that most of the places you would want to live have some form of HOA. The places we did find property not covered by an HOA had their own problems. We found a beautiful home, on the water in Port Charlotte. It was priced at exactly HALF the appraised value

. Then we flew down to look at the property and discovered that there was an abandoned house two doors down that squatters (likely tweakers) had moved into and another neighbor with storm damage from years before that still had not been repaired (blue tarps everywhere). Then there were the broken down boats and automobiles than lined the potholed street. It was a GREAT house but neighborhood looked like section 8. Why the fuck would I want to come home to that everyday?

Again, HOAs are not the problem. HOAs that are left to their own devices without strong membership involvement ARE the problem.
