Yup they stole mine and said I owed them, which was bs, still haven't paid them

You may be able to install a paver driveway into your backyard, and parking your vehicle on that may satisfy the HOA rules.

If you're running an informal salvage yard out of your front yard that's going to get on your neighbor's nerves.

Is your yard fenced if so who told on you would be my question unless it’s not a privacy fence

I've genuinely never understood why people care about where people put their cars. Is there a legitimate reason?

I don't recommend this. Jordan Valley is great with their other departments but they require same day appointments for first time dental patients. Same day appointments that are IMPOSSIBLE to get because they are always full! I even called the literal second they opened and I still couldn't get an appointment! How does that happen!?

I think southwood properties has some sort of thing where they can take an extra deposit and just call it some sort of made up fee. One final thought - I know you’d both hate to do it this way but, you can always apply and not put him on the lease. Surely you’ll get evicted or something if caught but you did say you’re getting desperate which to me - implies that if you don’t find something soon this may actually turn into an emergency situation for you guys.

Best of luck man I’m so sorry you’re in this horrible situation. Honestly you may not be able to get approved with any of the companies around here and if that’s the case and you can’t find a private owner to rent to you - you may have to move. Literally uproot your whole lives hopefully transfer with work and if not lose your job, probably most of your belongings in the process of an out of state or area move due to cost and it becoming a sudden emergency and worse. It’s a story we’re hearing more and more.

I truly mean that when I say best of luck! Start talking with him now about possibly leaving the area and start making a plan for it (not to do) just in case you can’t work something out. You do NOT want the first time you look into to be when shit hits the fan.

Aside from all that there may be a room for rent or a roommate looking also. You can check Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, and then I think there’s an apps for roommates also. Best wishes. I’m sorry you have to fear over a basic human necessity.

Flew up to Columbia and back. Lots of burning from multiple brush piles, fields, and whatnots. It's everywhere.

We put I a bid on a house back in 2016...out down our earnest money.

The first disclosure indicated it was a HOA, (As is required). We ordered a copy of the HOA bylaws...and withdrew our offer the next day.

HOAs have legal authority to enforce whatever bylaws they maintain.

There will be a schedule of fines I'm your HOA agreement, of you refuse to pay the fines they may be aento charge interest amd eventual legal fees. They can also put a lien against your home if you continue to refuse.

My mentality is the same as yours. It's my private property; I will do what I want on my property. Which is why I'm not a good candidate for an HOA won't ever belong to one.

I feel the same way about code enforcement and zoning.

That's why I will always live in a rural county.

I might have a turkey barn pop up next door, but thays the trade off lol

I'll try to balance your downvotes a bit. Obviously nazis are a bit exaggerated but they're absolutely pricks 99% of the time.

Looks like you got advice already. But I'm gonna echo what some other people here have said. HOAs are absolute garbage usually ran by power tripping middle aged bored people. Avoid at all costs in the future.

Probably burning homeless camps again

Oh, yikes. Basically, the HOA can govern everything. My friend lives in one and got fined for one of those political signs in her front yard. It was just for the local school board election.

That what I said but now I’m sick of seeing my neighbors park their cars that aren’t running in the front yard. If they were in the country with land I wouldn’t care. It’s right in front of their house here in Springfield. Wish people cared more

I knew I’d find them here. My apartment had black mold and management was horrendous. They’ll screw you out of your deposit as well.

Fire prolly.

We knew it was HOA, was it explained, no not at all. Literally on the paperwork it told us to reach out to the president via FB…nah

The convent and rules should have been provided to you prior to you purchasing the home. They have direct bearing on if you had informed consent when you entered into the contract. The title company and seller fucked up if they did not disclose these to you.

Just curious, did you know what a HOA was before buying the house? Like was it all explained to ya?

It helps keep your property values up

I was president of an HOA for many years. The concept of an HOA is to protect the values of that particular community. They each have different covenants, for different reasons. Our greatest concern was an owner doing something that would bring down the value of our homes. Managing one is a pain in the ass. Most members are on the same page, but you've always got some kind of personal issue going.

Our covenants stated that if a member broke a covenant the association could, by law, do whatever it required to bring that property back into covenant and the owner would be charged for that. And if they didn't pay the association could put a lien on the property which would be satisfied whenever it sold....be that a year or 50 years.

The only time we enforced this was when someone didn't pay their annual dues (a whole whopping $50). You bought into a community that cares about their property, presumably. I would think you would want to honor the association covenants, not because they are rules, but because it would put you in good standings with your neighbors. But legally, they're probably not going to tow your trailer, because that just opens a can of legal worms....and they're probably not going to want to spend association funds to on a lawyer.

Rent to Own places are the biggest rip offs you could find. The $400 washer you could buy at Lowe's will eventually end up costing you $1200+ at a Rent to Own. You would be much better off just finding cheap used appliances on Facebook marketplace or craigslist.
