old story his wife is an idiot
Thanks for your input Al. Apparently still not resolved.
Your welcome anytime I can help
whatever.
If something like this happened to me, I'd probably get a sprayer truck, fill it with gasoline, and go on a drive through the yards of the board members...
Bingo. Still.... If I were on the HOA and KNEW he was deployed, I’d have made every effort to contact the soldier. HOA’s have the choice of pursuing collection thru small claims. Also, I have a hard time believing the soldier had no clue his wife was whacked. This is a tough one.
He should have married better.
The details of this “sale” need to be exposed.
There was unjust enrichment going on here, and you better believe the new owner knew someone on this board.
sounds like someone in that HOA made a big profit. This needs to be investigated
exactly!
HOA, Little tin gods in their own eyes.
Yep! His wife is an idiot. Pull it together woman and share the load with your husband.
1) If you choose to live in a development with HOA **read** the contract before you sign.
2) If you don’t pay your HOA dues then it makes harder on and more expensive for the other owners and they (rightfully) get ticked!
3) Wasn’t there any extended family checking in on this woman and her family?
Nothing in their family history points to her being an idiot.
If you've never had to deal with anyone with clinical depression or disabling anxieties, then let me just say that there are some extremnely serious things you don't know about. May God protect you from such crippling experiences.
Though the homeowner's group has no contractual obligation past a certified mail, the fact that they selectively reached out personally to some but not others invokes a de facto requirement that they treat everyone by the same standard - and they didn't treat her the same as others. They should be countersued for discrimination, to give them an idea that they are not omnipotent. Homeowners groups are, by and large, so evil they make Satan blanch. The rest are just vicious, petty, and as criminal as they can get away with.
“This needs to be investigated.”
Then the sprayer truck!
I hate HOA, I would make their lives hell if they pulled this on me.
I would bend the rules and give them hell.
Put Ping Play Boy Bunnies on my lawn, what ever it took
I would never buy the property back, but I would sign a lease so I could make it hell for them to get me out of there.
I love a good fight.
I had the lady from a HOA giving me a hard time about slicing concrete up with an unapproved contractor (apparently bonded and insured isn’t good enough). The lady was trying to get me to hire her son-in-law. Fatchance.
I told the contractor to stop work and dump all the concrete in a dump leaving large sections of concrete missing from the driveway and the garage. It was the mother of all eyesores.
She moved out about 1 month after this after I got everyone to understand what went down. She was done as Assoc President, no one ever messed with me again. I am not above calling their bluff.
After she left, I called the contractor back to finish the job, he charged me $50 more because he had to make two trips, but he was happy to see that “$@@ch” out of there.
Anyone who buys in a neighborhood that has a homeowners association is stupid and deserves the headaches he gets. Anyone who agrees to form such an association in a neighborhood previously free ditto.
HOA’s are generally not good things. They easily become dictatorial and oppressive. I lived in a neighborhood once that had one - never again.
Now, a really serious question - why would Texas have a law that gave HOA’s so much power? This is asinine.
The place to start is where the lawyer lied ~ he’s got deep pockets. Time to clean them out for him.
Back in the day when people supported their troops this crap wouldn’t happen. There would have been a great amount of leeway, some tolerance given.
The bastards in the HOA should be crucified. Crucified in the public domain for their inpatients. I would guess that there is not one of the HOA leadership members that is a vet or has a member of their family in the military.
