“Homeowners Associations”.
How can they be outlawed? They are done as private agreements that buyers are agreeing to, and written into the deed restrictions, when the property is sold. Can the law dictate they cannot be part of the private agreements they are founded on?
They usually only apply to ‘developments’ & are a more recent part of the real estate landscape. I lived in So Cal in what was certainly a development, but that house was built in 1953, and there was no HOA.
I have lived rural since 1993 & there are no HOA’s out here. County has code violations, but with he recession, the code enforcement officer was cut out of the budget.
