My neighbors recently received a violation from the HOA. One because his vehicle had decals that advertise his business. He has been living there for 2 years now with no problems until now.
The other uses a trailer for landscaping and parks it in the driveway at night. So do many other people....also I've seen jet ski's, inoperable cars, commercial vehicles...
They are going to go before the board to appeal this. Can they invoke the doctrine of laches in these cases? After all....the HOA had 2 years to address the "commercial" vehicle and has allowed these and other types of vehicles to be parked overnight for as long as I have been here.
Speaking of which....anyone else think its funny that you can park these vehicles in your driveway in the day when they are most visible...but not overnight when most people are asleep!
In our community it isn't allowed and it took a while before things were done...actually action was taken when a new management company took over....I guess it is allowed to take action (but I'm not a lawyer) as long as it is in the rules and regulations. The got away with it and now it is over.
Could be new people moved in and are taking the HOA rules to hand and reporting anyone who disobeys.
I've seen it happen before. Just be careful if they get on the board !
