unfortunately they are just an American thing, or the HOA specifically. other countries have some similar organizations but they don't have the power nor the malicious intent that the American HOA has. what I've been reading online and from talking to people from different countries, the problem is the president's of these places either grew up never being told no, or only being t9pd no so either way they don't take No for an answer and a majority will break the law and not care just so you do what they say.
@@AndroidsMusic its absolutely insane. Price increases to dealers every month or so, not enough doors to go around and 3 month lead times to get doors when it used to be 2 weeks.

Hahaha, Craigslist; “will you take $175?” Pres. “listen, It’s listed at $200 and I’ve already come down a lot. This electric scooter belonged to my late son and he barely rode it. It’s basically brand new! He was crushed by a garage door last week”
@Dave Iaucco ...Not necessarily lefties, there are as many right wing dictators [usually dictated by their religions] that are tiny minded, myopic bullies with strange notions on who the "right" kinds of people there are to have in their communities. Its a power trip.
The "HOAs" ARE thieves. They're writing down everything in those garages and handing it over to their partners in crime to steal. That's before the "HOA" makes up some ridiculous "violations" and racks up tens of thousands in "fines" on you so "HOA" mafia can steal your home too.
I'm in the same field, naturally I also agree with this HOA rule as well. It would be nice to see this rule implemented in a state with stricter gun control, this neighborhood is in Texas, so we could still be dealing with some work safety issues even with the removal of these unnecessary garage doors.
My husband is a vet and in order for him to receive certain benefits (loans, healthcare etc) we are required to stay in the city. And here in Chicago the taxes and cost on anything is outrageous and the HOA is in every building thats either not an actual house or a privately owned building. So ppl like us who are only making 46000 with 4 kids don't have many options bec of how expensive things are here. So another example of of not having enough to not have to pay for something unnecessary. I know that sounds dumb but its true.
@@juliedavis9659 I'm sorry, but that doesn't make much sense. There are veterans receiving those benefits in every kind of community all over the country. You might dig into that more- it sounds like you've been given bad information.
The HOA or community concern is limited the view of a person walking on the curb: the curb appeal of the home. Yes, maintaining property value is important. That's it. Nothing else. Don't let them boss you in your own home.
This kid is just trying to earn a living, support his wife and kids, and have some toys to scoot around on during his time off... and the HOA has to poke their nose in and cause problems.
HOA's are managed BY THE HOMEOWNERS! SOMETIMES these are farmed out to HOA MANAGEMENT companies....... BUT, regardless of WHO is the representative manager. The HOA members must abide by COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS. Most in the community are probably HOMEOWNERS while some are RENTERS. IF A HOMEOWNER "RENTS" their home, they general are responsible (per the HOA legal documents) that renters are informed of the rules. Look to these documents (including legal HOA RESOLUTIONS for "changes") to resolve conflicts.
Yeah it makes no sense. So you leave for work in he morning and you're just suppose to just leave your garage door open all day with no one in the house? That's insane.
@Kaleela Edwards some don't allow you to leave them open. This case is specifically because they suspect folks are letting others use the garage as living space.
You willingly sign a contract to "own" a house there. If you're that stupid then you deserve those rules. Never, ever, ever buy into a HOA unless you like being told what to do.
@@matthewwade4196I understand, yet we also live in a society where we understand that a person’s rights and responsibilities do not end at a gate. HOAs need to be regulated and a system in place for addressing grievances. Either that or the government will outlaw them, altogether.
@@mrhowell6842 You literally sign a contract agreeing to abide by any rule created by the HOA in order to purchase the property within their private development. You're required to honor your side of the contact. There already is a system in place to fight against your HOA through their own CC&Rs, running for positions on the Board, and finally through the Stirling Act. If you do not wish to have to abide by the HOA's rules, then do not purchase a property within a HOA or reside in one as a tenant. The government is not going to get rid of HOAs. They're a type of land use which government has no right to deny.
Ikr...easier said than done in many areas these days though....here in central FL around 75% of the homes for sale in good neighborhoods are a HOA houses.

What the hell is wrong with this freaking home owners association? What next? A thousand dollar fine for failing to keep the bedroom curtain or blinds open to allow the HOA gestapo to look into people's bedrooms at night time under the excuse of wanting to check if the home owners exceed the mandated number of persons sleeping in each room? This home owner association is run by control freaks. They should all be voted out.
@@simon6071 there should be no HOA at all, anywhere. HOAs were supposed to be to keep the neighborhoods nice and clean, to make sure everyone's lawn was orderly by hiring landscapers with what was essentially a group discount. But now they control almost every aspect of home ownership. This is ALL HOAs, not just this one.
But you forget the modis operendi of the little dictators that make up HOA boards..."Rules for thee but not for me!" If you move into a community under a HOA, you'd almost be better off moving to China.
Mike Cruickshanks like the workplace extended into your living space, abusers can’t be escaped now. That’s what HOA is. Parasites in human form preying on other people’s suffering. It gets them off. Power is their aphrodisiac, kinda like a rapist. Same vein of people.
Isn't a violations of 4th A unreasonable search to force people to have their interior rooms open for public display? Also to sort of flip the finger at the HOA if they force me to leave my garage open I would install a floor to roof metal bar or chain link inner door so no one could enter my garage. Also most garage have a interior door letting you in to the main house which may not be as strong so they are inviting home burglary or a potential home invasion --- that could be argued as a serious safety issue.
@@lonknight3197 The bill of rights controls what the Government can do, not what a private ownership can do. Doesn't make what their doing any smarter though, I would never live in a place that has an HOA
As a burglar, this HOA is genus. It used to be that you’d have to put time and effort into finding a house to rob, but now I can just walk in and take whatever I want! Thanks HOA!
I would stick a bill to the HOA office window in fine them $200 for not open when they're supposed to be see how they like it and then every time I see they're not open when they're supposed to be they would be getting bills every time I bet you liked it would stop real quick
Will the HOA take responsibility if items get stolen during the hours the garage doors get left open? Then compensate the homeowners? If someone is illegally renting out or otherwise allowing occupancy of a property, how is this the HOA's business? Is this not the jurisdiction of the Authorities IE: Government? So what happens if a HO removes the garage door and installs a wall, making this space internal to the house, and then has someone occupying it? What id the HO is not member of the HOA. Presumably the tell the HOA to get stuffed. Glad I leave in country where this doesn't happen.
All i know is, If i lived in this neighborhood my "valuables" in my garage would be going "Missing" weekly and i'd just keep "replacing" them lmfao. do it a few times n start sticking em with the bills n law suits. See how quick it gets changed. Then just sell ur old toys or tools w.e you let get "Stolen" and buy anew. Ez pz.
It's entirely possible that somebody is bribing the HOA so that they can get a good look at the resident's cars, either to find somebody by their number-plate or to plan out car-thefts.
All depends on the level of corruption the court in question has developed. Power corrupts, it is inevitable for every institution known to man. But there's always a chance it hasn't happened yet.
The HOA likely threatened homeowners against speaking publicly against their decisions. This family found the loophole. HOA never said their kids couldn’t talk.
@@FiferSkipper Not really. It's my understanding that most hoa's usually devolve into garbage busy body power tripping ah's trying to dictate the garbage they push into rules. Hoa's should be pretty much banned entirely. Anything that might be vaguely useful could be done another way. Maybe through specific and much more useful contracts.
Maybe ,it is just the point taken, that children live in these homes, also. They have rights to protect their things, too. Even a child does not want his families things to be stolen, or vandalized. Just letting you know, even a child has more reasoning ability than those giving the orders.
ROSETTA WILLIAMS simple fix, put the bill of everything stolen on the HOA, if they refuse to pony up, then sue them for putting potential family’s and valuables at risk
This kid is like 43 "Well bill I just don't think it's a good idea I've got a lot of investment in this garage with my dirtbike, my scooter, and my electric wheelchair" 😂
It should be voluntary and not mandatory as common sense dictates. The state of your garage door should be up to the homeowner and not a group of people that think they know better than the owner what is right or wrong.
So... you think the HOA (whose funding comes exclusively from the homeowners) should be liable for the homeowners stolen property. You do understand how silly this logic is right?
@@lillones …That’s what taxes are mate, lotteries too, just on a larger scale; a LOT of things work that way actually. If the collective wants to enforce shady rules that get property stolen, then the collective can pitch in for when property does indeed get stolen.
@@lillones That's got to be the weakest, least thought-out counter argument I've ever heard lmao. Netflix makes its money through customer subscriptions, if they leak all their customers personal data online, does that make them immune to consequences? If a cop violates your rights, should they be immune to lawsuits just because they're paid through your taxes?
If I accept money from someone to do a job and then damage their property, do I just get away with it just because I have some of their dollar bills in my wallet, which somehow makes it okay? I swear, the people that say "your logic" or "this logic" when attempting to discredit someone else's intelligence always turns out to be the utterly braindead ones.
@@iamnotafraid 😆 wow your counter counter arguments are not well thought out. Putting aside the fact that no right is being violated legally, and the fact that nobody is forcing anyone to put their belongings in direct danger of being stolen. This isnt a private company. This is a group every homeowner has an active ownership in. A group whos only cash flow comes from the homeowners to fund the neighborhood. They dont sell anything, no advertisements or tax money. This isnt some corporate behemoth like netflix or the federal government. Insurance wont pay a dime. So guess what happens when you sue your hoa or require them to pay for something? Well, they are going to send you a bill to cover those expenses. So in a roundabout way, you are just sueing yourself. And worse, your chance of success is laughable The real lesson here... be an active part of your hoa. You are literally paying for it, and have the power to stop things you dont agree with
@jakemartinez6894 That's how it should work, but some groups don't even pay enough in taxes to cover the cost of the benefits they use. (blacks and mexicans)
You're absolutely right. Please keep speaking out about the terrible corrupt "HOAs" and spreading awareness about the "HOAs" power and abuse. State legislatures need to outright ban "HOAs" on detached homes. "HOA" has absolutely no business enslaving owners of detached homes in the United States of America.

"I just think it's all gonna get stolen, you know?" I'm sure he learns from his dad and good on his dad for engaging with his 9 year old so much so that he sounds and speaks like he's 20 years old.
The people that gravitate towards running an HOA are the same kind of Democrats that want to dictate what happens in every square inch of the country. They can't even run a SINGLE STATE without turning it into a craphole.
Yeah go ahead and spend $10K+ to have a lawyer tell you it's legal because you agreed to HOA policies in your land deed. If it were illegal I'm sure the neighborhood would come together to form a class action/multiple party lawsuit.
Imagine signing a contract to have a huge tree taken down in your yard for $400. They come and take the tree down and you decide. Well.. 400 is a lot and you really only want to pay $200 instead. Should you take the tree trimmers to court and sue them to have them reduce the bill? When you agreed to 400 and signed the contract and moved forward with it? The tree trimmers are the ones that need to sue. And in this case the HOA needs to sue and fine people who don't abide by the contract.
@@guidedmeditation2396 Contracts aren't written in stone and there are aspects of contracts that can be deemed illegal, or unenforceable. Not that this may or may not be the case here but it is a thing. In your example, it would probably fail in court, I agree. But if the contract stated something like, if we feel like it, we don't have to do it, that might win in court.
As a professional burglar, I just want to show my appreciation and thank the HOA here. I sent flowers to Fran, but she never did get back to me.

Thank you again HOA, y'all just let me know if you ever want to drop by my mansion
Update: HOA newest rule, residents now need to leave their windows open and doors unlocked between 9pm and 6am so pesky alarms won't be triggered do to burglary disturbing other residents
Hoa Update: You must leave your houses this Friday between 6am and 9pm, open your doors and leave all valuables in easily accessible places and unscrew all anchored flat screen televisions. Hoa inspectors will remove any suspicious objects found in your home.
I honestly don't get it... People save up like half a mil, buy a house and then pay stranger to dictate how to live their life? That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard
Generally an HOA to protect their home values by preventing your neighbors from leaving broken down cars in the front yard or never mowing their lawn. HOAs that get power hungry like this are absurd and need to be fought against. Ultimately it’s your own neighbors making these rules so if the majority speaks up against them they should be able to overturn the rule.
It’s a balance. In most parts of the world, the common areas deteriorate pretty quickly, since nobody wants to chip in for upkeep, but inside a unit might look first class since they have extra pocket money that would have went to HOA. It depends if it’s worth it to you to pay a group to perform upkeep on the common areas.
Badguy blah......Hey !!....I'm with you on this , DUDE !!....Makes No Sense to me either......I always thought if you have a neighbor who doesn't keep the outside of his home clean and neat, which to me is his business anyways, ,that's the job of the city to take care of, isn't that one the reasons we pay a city, and or county tax. You may as well still be living at home with your parents, if you're into being controlled and told what you can and cannot do. The whole idea is B.S. to me !!

@Dave or people who believe that their 400,000 dollar house they bought should be used in their own way that they feel fit. Boomers like you think you're just the perfect generation but look at what's happened to the world from you're upbringing. 1970 you could buy a house no problem but after all of your greedy fingers gucked and mucked up the economy, the next generation suffers. We have to work four times as hard just to own a house someone bought for a fraction of the price Back in 1970. So if that's the case I'm going to use the house how I want. And don't even get me started on the endless amount of police report stating the fraudulent actions of HOAs. There are endless lists of their greedy and secretive ways.
@Dave chances are, what happens on the inside of the garage does not affect the property value of the neighbors, therefore HOA should have no business inside.
@Dave I believe when the older generation sees the younger calling for some sort of change and improvement, they often leave it at entitlement. I also believe that it isn’t the fault of the older generation, I think it’s just a physic of change and part of why it’s so hard to change society in general. My current generation will fall to the same shortcomings when it becomes the older generation 🤷🏻♂️
@Dave I started with an advantage? The economy dropped. Jobs were less available. Banks didn't want to loan and money inflated. It isn't just your generation. It truly is each one's before it fault. When my grandfather was a kid he was paying 5 cents for a bag of candy now I'm pulling out 5 Bill's to pay for that same bag. And before that, my 80 year old grandfather was buying cars for 1000 dollars but his grandfather was buying cars for 100 dollars. Money became more scarce and inflated with each generation. There are tons of economical studies made by people who are paid the big bucks to find this out for you. It's one Google search away. But this isn't the point. HOA's are more than just a few 'rules' Dave. It's a ball and chain on freedom. I can't close my garage door? What's next? Can't close my windows when I change? How about lock my doors when I go to work? Open your eyes.
Why anybody in their right mind would ever agree to having an HOA is beyond me. Pay a hefty monthly fee to have your neighborhood turned into a mini police state.
99.9% of the time, they literally have no choice. Even if you're in a neighborhood that doesn't have a HOA, if one forms you can be legally required to join or you can be kicked out of your house.
That’s also an easy access point into your house. Unless the garage is facing a neighbors window or the street it can be the perfect cover space for someone to break in.
What kind of “office” can’t manage to be open for two hours in the middle of the work day? 12pm-2pm? Are you kidding me? I’m sorry but that’s simply ridiculous

HOA is such a scam. Even though you bought the Townhouse/Condo, you essentially have to pay monthly rent to HOA for an extremely overpriced gardening service, and to make sure your neighbor doesn't paint their house a weird color.
@@archise3191 depends if you own youe home or if you are renting, if you are renting like a duplex you have to pay for their services because it's in the contract when you rent the place
your right i dont get it, i have a family member locked into a HOA subdivision and he has like 4 choices of colors he can use 7 choices of outdoor structures that can be in the yard and they all vote on changes/ decisions in the neighborhood, pool and clubhouse
In theory I can understand some appeal. If you have some basic rules to maintain yards and such you could in theory raise property value, and live in your perfect little neighborhood. I dont agree but I see the basic appeal
Now that's one rule that HOA can fight against: Illegal squatters who occupy people' private properties and refuse to leave. But do they do it? No. HOA just bullies law-abiding property owners.
@Jared Early covenants and deed restrictions were established to control the people who could buy in a development. In the early postwar period after World War II, many were defined to exclude African Americans and, in some cases, Jews, with Asians also excluded on the West Coast. For example, a racial covenant in a Seattle, Washington, neighborhood stated, "No part of said property hereby conveyed shall ever be used or occupied by any Hebrew or by any person of the Ethiopian, Malay or any Asiatic race." In 1948, the United States Supreme Court ruled such covenants unenforceable in Shelley v. Kraemer. But, private contracts effectively kept them alive until the Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibited such discrimination. By requiring approval of tenants and new owners, HOAs still have the potential to permit less formalised discrimination. And state oversight of homeowner associations is minimal, and it varies from state to state. Some states, such as Florida and California, have a large body of HOA law. Other states, such as Massachusetts, have virtually no HOA law. HOA has a very racist origin and really has no place in modern society today especially when they are not been overseen by any government or regulatory body. I am NOT going to place my rights of what I can or cannot do with my private property and essentially the enjoyment of my property that I have made the biggest investment of my life for in the hands of a bunch of people that are basically above the law and have to rely on them being "chill" in order to be happy.
Nah I'm lucky. The house right next to ours is the cutoff for the HOA in our neighborhood, but some dude is now developing the other side of the street after 20 years so they might expand(doesnt matter to me, I'll be gone to college by the time they can approve something like that)
. . . Depends on the HOA. There are pros and cons, as with anything. Personally, I think the pros outweigh the cons. . . . not in _this_ case, so much, but in general. Our HOA can get a little eye rolling sometimes, but thankfully they’ve never overstepped their bounds and in a few cases, have even been the source of thankfulness in the community.

If leaving the garage door opened isn’t in the CCR’s, it is unenforceable. The Board cannot alter the CCR’s either. They need quorum at the meeting of homeowners and the owners vote on the change.
Not necessarily. Rules and Regulations can be passed by the board alone and can provide detailed guidance and operational management for an HOA without changing the CC&Rs as long as they do not contradict or impose new restrictions that alter homeowners' rights defined in the CC&Rs. The HOA board has significant flexibility to adapt rules to meet community needs. Rules and Regulations can be established by the HOA board to manage day-to-day operations and community conduct and provide more specific guidelines on vague CC&R provisions.
@ Wrong. The board cannot modify the CCRs. Only an owners meeting with quorum can vote and modify, delete or add rules. HOAs are governed by the State they are in and that is a standard state rule so boards don’t have unfettered power over owners.

unfortunately they are just an American thing, or the HOA specifically. other countries have some similar organizations but they don't have the power nor the malicious intent that the American HOA has. what I've been reading online and from talking to people from different countries, the problem is the president's of these places either grew up never being told no, or only being t9pd no so either way they don't take No for an answer and a majority will break the law and not care just so you do what they say.
Agree!
With hundreds of thousands of HOA company's around the US it would never happen unfortunately
Hoa was created with racism but now they do it to everyone
I used to think the same way and then I met some people who lived in an HOA and sometimes they make sense. I still would never live in an HOA
Garage doors are meant to be closed. This is utterly insane. Should be illegal.

@@AndroidsMusic its absolutely insane. Price increases to dealers every month or so, not enough doors to go around and 3 month lead times to get doors when it used to be 2 weeks.

😂
The "HOAs" ARE thieves. They're writing down everything in those garages and handing it over to their partners in crime to steal. That's before the "HOA" makes up some ridiculous "violations" and racks up tens of thousands in "fines" on you so "HOA" mafia can steal your home too.
😂
I'm in the same field, naturally I also agree with this HOA rule as well. It would be nice to see this rule implemented in a state with stricter gun control, this neighborhood is in Texas, so we could still be dealing with some work safety issues even with the removal of these unnecessary garage doors.
Also they need to disable cameras for safety too! Wouldn’t hurt to leave doors unlocked too! It makes our job easier

I will not pay hundreds of thousands of dollars just for someone to tell me what to do with my property. Screw HOA.
My husband is a vet and in order for him to receive certain benefits (loans, healthcare etc) we are required to stay in the city. And here in Chicago the taxes and cost on anything is outrageous and the HOA is in every building thats either not an actual house or a privately owned building. So ppl like us who are only making 46000 with 4 kids don't have many options bec of how expensive things are here. So another example of of not having enough to not have to pay for something unnecessary. I know that sounds dumb but its true.
@@juliedavis9659 I cannot see how the benefits of being a Vet in Chicago could possibly outweigh the costs. I am so glad I moved out of Illinois.

Sometimes its better to disobey.
What is the reason. No legitimate reason. Garage is for home owner use.
The HOA or community concern is limited the view of a person walking on the curb: the curb appeal of the home. Yes, maintaining property value is important. That's it. Nothing else. Don't let them boss you in your own home.

Why does he have a electric wheelchair?
HOA's are managed BY THE HOMEOWNERS! SOMETIMES these are farmed out to HOA MANAGEMENT companies....... BUT, regardless of WHO is the representative manager. The HOA members must abide by COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS. Most in the community are probably HOMEOWNERS while some are RENTERS. IF A HOMEOWNER "RENTS" their home, they general are responsible (per the HOA legal documents) that renters are informed of the rules. Look to these documents (including legal HOA RESOLUTIONS for "changes") to resolve conflicts.
I think I'd rather have an electric blue house next door than the dictatorship of an HOA breathing down my neck. They seriously need to be outlawed.

There needs to be a law that severely restricts HOAs
Or just bans them outright
@Kaleela Edwards some don't allow you to leave them open. This case is specifically because they suspect folks are letting others use the garage as living space.
You willingly sign a contract to "own" a house there. If you're that stupid then you deserve those rules. Never, ever, ever buy into a HOA unless you like being told what to do.
@@matthewwade4196I understand, yet we also live in a society where we understand that a person’s rights and responsibilities do not end at a gate. HOAs need to be regulated and a system in place for addressing grievances. Either that or the government will outlaw them, altogether.
@@mrhowell6842 You literally sign a contract agreeing to abide by any rule created by the HOA in order to purchase the property within their private development. You're required to honor your side of the contact.
There already is a system in place to fight against your HOA through their own CC&Rs, running for positions on the Board, and finally through the Stirling Act.
If you do not wish to have to abide by the HOA's rules, then do not purchase a property within a HOA or reside in one as a tenant.
The government is not going to get rid of HOAs. They're a type of land use which government has no right to deny.

Mike Cruickshanks like the workplace extended into your living space, abusers can’t be escaped now. That’s what HOA is. Parasites in human form preying on other people’s suffering. It gets them off. Power is their aphrodisiac, kinda like a rapist. Same vein of people.
Isn't a violations of 4th A unreasonable search to force people to have their interior rooms open for public display?
Also to sort of flip the finger at the HOA if they force me to leave my garage open I would install a floor to roof metal bar or chain link inner door so no one could enter my garage.
Also most garage have a interior door letting you in to the main house which may not be as strong so they are inviting home burglary or a potential home invasion --- that could be argued as a serious safety issue.
If your paying for the place. They get to decide what is open or closed. If they want to use the garage as a spare room, that's their right.

If the HOA was closed when contacted during the open hours, doesn't that make them subject to the $200 fine?
$200 fine, multiplied by the number of homeowners in the community!😆
I would stick a bill to the HOA office window in fine them $200 for not open when they're supposed to be see how they like it and then every time I see they're not open when they're supposed to be they would be getting bills every time I bet you liked it would stop real quick
Will the HOA take responsibility if items get stolen during the hours the garage doors get left open? Then compensate the homeowners?
If someone is illegally renting out or otherwise allowing occupancy of a property, how is this the HOA's business? Is this not the jurisdiction of the Authorities IE: Government?
So what happens if a HO removes the garage door and installs a wall, making this space internal to the house, and then has someone occupying it?
What id the HO is not member of the HOA. Presumably the tell the HOA to get stuffed.
Glad I leave in country where this doesn't happen.
All i know is, If i lived in this neighborhood my "valuables" in my garage would be going "Missing" weekly and i'd just keep "replacing" them lmfao. do it a few times n start sticking em with the bills n law suits.

It's entirely possible that somebody is bribing the HOA so that they can get a good look at the resident's cars, either to find somebody by their number-plate or to plan out car-thefts.
This is an unconstitutional request. It would never hold up in court with a good lawyer.

It should be voluntary and not mandatory as common sense dictates. The state of your garage door should be up to the homeowner and not a group of people that think they know better than the owner what is right or wrong.
The HOA is ignorant and should be held liable for any missing property. Class action from all the homeowners is in order.
So... you think the HOA (whose funding comes exclusively from the homeowners) should be liable for the homeowners stolen property.
You do understand how silly this logic is right?

@@iamnotafraid 😆 wow your counter counter arguments are not well thought out.
Putting aside the fact that no right is being violated legally, and the fact that nobody is forcing anyone to put their belongings in direct danger of being stolen. This isnt a private company. This is a group every homeowner has an active ownership in. A group whos only cash flow comes from the homeowners to fund the neighborhood. They dont sell anything, no advertisements or tax money. This isnt some corporate behemoth like netflix or the federal government. Insurance wont pay a dime.
So guess what happens when you sue your hoa or require them to pay for something? Well, they are going to send you a bill to cover those expenses. So in a roundabout way, you are just sueing yourself. And worse, your chance of success is laughable
The real lesson here... be an active part of your hoa. You are literally paying for it, and have the power to stop things you dont agree with

You're absolutely right. Please keep speaking out about the terrible corrupt "HOAs" and spreading awareness about the "HOAs" power and abuse. State legislatures need to outright ban "HOAs" on detached homes. "HOA" has absolutely no business enslaving owners of detached homes in the United States of America.

@The Real Cat of 2020 what contract this wasnt in the CC&R besides the HOA reversed course so lol good luck right LOL
Imagine signing a contract to have a huge tree taken down in your yard for $400. They come and take the tree down and you decide. Well.. 400 is a lot and you really only want to pay $200 instead. Should you take the tree trimmers to court and sue them to have them reduce the bill? When you agreed to 400 and signed the contract and moved forward with it?
The tree trimmers are the ones that need to sue. And in this case the HOA needs to sue and fine people who don't abide by the contract.
@@guidedmeditation2396 Contracts aren't written in stone and there are aspects of contracts that can be deemed illegal, or unenforceable. Not that this may or may not be the case here but it is a thing. In your example, it would probably fail in court, I agree.

Generally an HOA to protect their home values by preventing your neighbors from leaving broken down cars in the front yard or never mowing their lawn. HOAs that get power hungry like this are absurd and need to be fought against. Ultimately it’s your own neighbors making these rules so if the majority speaks up against them they should be able to overturn the rule.
It’s a balance. In most parts of the world, the common areas deteriorate pretty quickly, since nobody wants to chip in for upkeep, but inside a unit might look first class since they have extra pocket money that would have went to HOA. It depends if it’s worth it to you to pay a group to perform upkeep on the common areas.

@Dave or people who believe that their 400,000 dollar house they bought should be used in their own way that they feel fit.
Boomers like you think you're just the perfect generation but look at what's happened to the world from you're upbringing. 1970 you could buy a house no problem but after all of your greedy fingers gucked and mucked up the economy, the next generation suffers.
We have to work four times as hard just to own a house someone bought for a fraction of the price Back in 1970. So if that's the case I'm going to use the house how I want.
And don't even get me started on the endless amount of police report stating the fraudulent actions of HOAs. There are endless lists of their greedy and secretive ways.
@Dave OK Karen
@Dave chances are, what happens on the inside of the garage does not affect the property value of the neighbors, therefore HOA should have no business inside.
@Dave I believe when the older generation sees the younger calling for some sort of change and improvement, they often leave it at entitlement. I also believe that it isn’t the fault of the older generation, I think it’s just a physic of change and part of why it’s so hard to change society in general. My current generation will fall to the same shortcomings when it becomes the older generation 🤷🏻♂️
@Dave I started with an advantage? The economy dropped. Jobs were less available. Banks didn't want to loan and money inflated. It isn't just your generation. It truly is each one's before it fault.
When my grandfather was a kid he was paying 5 cents for a bag of candy now I'm pulling out 5 Bill's to pay for that same bag. And before that, my 80 year old grandfather was buying cars for 1000 dollars but his grandfather was buying cars for 100 dollars. Money became more scarce and inflated with each generation. There are tons of economical studies made by people who are paid the big bucks to find this out for you. It's one Google search away.
But this isn't the point. HOA's are more than just a few 'rules' Dave. It's a ball and chain on freedom. I can't close my garage door? What's next? Can't close my windows when I change? How about lock my doors when I go to work? Open your eyes.

@@wtconroe879 I don’t think so. They are very strict. I would never buy a house with an HOA.
I would avoid a place with HOA. Rather have redneck neighbors with 5 lawn cars than deal with mad karens for having grass that is the wrong color
99.9% of the time, they literally have no choice. Even if you're in a neighborhood that doesn't have a HOA, if one forms you can be legally required to join or you can be kicked out of your house.
Remember, they accept this. They accepts the hoa madness
leave garage doors up during working hours, exactly the same hours where people like to steal things from homes... efffing brilliant
That’s the HOA for you.
Makes you wonder if the HOA has someone going around to steal stuff
WHEN, not if, there is a garage cleaned out by thieves, will the HOA pay to replace the stuff stolen?
@@jamessimms415 yeah, theyre stealing your agency.
That’s also an easy access point into your house. Unless the garage is facing a neighbors window or the street it can be the perfect cover space for someone to break in.
“The office was closed during the hours it had posted as open”

I’m a burglar and I have to say, thank you so much to HOAs like this one that help someone like me make a living stealing things from residents.

Never buy a house in an HOA
HOA is such a scam. Even though you bought the Townhouse/Condo, you essentially have to pay monthly rent to HOA for an extremely overpriced gardening service, and to make sure your neighbor doesn't paint their house a weird color.
Indeed I wanted to paint my house yellow. What a horrendous crime I know, but the community board wouldn't allow me to do it.
@@serronserron1320 weird, yellow isn't that bad someone in my neighborhood painted their house hot pink and the HOA allowed it
You need to watch the American dad episode about the HOA
What if you don't pay the overpriced gardening services?
@@archise3191 depends if you own youe home or if you are renting, if you are renting like a duplex you have to pay for their services because it's in the contract when you rent the place
Why do people wants to live like that...HOA is horrible
your right i dont get it, i have a family member locked into a HOA subdivision and he has like 4 choices of colors he can use 7 choices of outdoor structures that can be in the yard and they all vote on changes/ decisions in the neighborhood, pool and clubhouse
Because They Need People Telling Them How To Live
@@tonilee8927 bahahahahahahaha
In theory I can understand some appeal. If you have some basic rules to maintain yards and such you could in theory raise property value, and live in your perfect little neighborhood. I dont agree but I see the basic appeal
A whole neighborhood of communist Karen's & Kyle's...no thanks. I'd prefer wild hogs as neighbors...
HOA finds unauthorized person living in the attic.
New HOA Rule: All homes must not have roofs from 8am to 4pm, no exceptions.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't give them ideas...
And only super clear clear glass. So thin you can walk through it
Now that's one rule that HOA can fight against: Illegal squatters who occupy people' private properties and refuse to leave. But do they do it? No. HOA just bullies law-abiding property owners.
@Jared Early covenants and deed restrictions were established to control the people who could buy in a development. In the early postwar period after World War II, many were defined to exclude African Americans and, in some cases, Jews, with Asians also excluded on the West Coast. For example, a racial covenant in a Seattle, Washington, neighborhood stated, "No part of said property hereby conveyed shall ever be used or occupied by any Hebrew or by any person of the Ethiopian, Malay or any Asiatic race." In 1948, the United States Supreme Court ruled such covenants unenforceable in Shelley v. Kraemer. But, private contracts effectively kept them alive until the Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibited such discrimination. By requiring approval of tenants and new owners, HOAs still have the potential to permit less formalised discrimination.
And state oversight of homeowner associations is minimal, and it varies from state to state. Some states, such as Florida and California, have a large body of HOA law. Other states, such as Massachusetts, have virtually no HOA law.
HOA has a very racist origin and really has no place in modern society today especially when they are not been overseen by any government or regulatory body. I am NOT going to place my rights of what I can or cannot do with my private property and essentially the enjoyment of my property that I have made the biggest investment of my life for in the hands of a bunch of people that are basically above the law and have to rely on them being "chill" in order to be happy.
HOA should be abolished! There is no excuse for this nonsense!
Note to self: dont buy a house in a neighborhood with a HOA.
@Heyitseyevan wrong, how can you say every neighborhood?
@Heyitseyevan spoken by some one who doesn't have a house
Nah I'm lucky. The house right next to ours is the cutoff for the HOA in our neighborhood, but some dude is now developing the other side of the street after 20 years so they might expand(doesnt matter to me, I'll be gone to college by the time they can approve something like that)
. . . Depends on the HOA. There are pros and cons, as with anything. Personally, I think the pros outweigh the cons. . . . not in _this_ case, so much, but in general.
Our HOA can get a little eye rolling sometimes, but thankfully they’ve never overstepped their bounds and in a few cases, have even been the source of thankfulness in the community.
*Duh*
Totally illegal. Can’t believe this was enforced, ever.
The problem with these HOAs is that, when you sue an HOA, you're paying for your lawyers AND the HOA's lawyers.
Umm well it has nothing to do with communism but thanks for your stupid comment
@@bill7778 How does this relate to communism in any way? lol It's like someone said "communism is bad" to you, and now every negative thing you see, you just repeat "communism" like a parrot.
@@christopherroche5700 Don't sue - just agree with your neighbours NOT to be told what to do by HOA!! Refuse to do it!
@@christopherroche5700 Agree with kenn1936 don't sue, instead get an attorney to fine tooth the HOA charter/covenant and if like most it provides for access to financials get copies and a forensic accountant involved looking for misappropriation, likely there is at least some, if not a ton of misappropriation.
The HOA is therefore responsible for any damage resulting from their rule, correct?
Exactly
Of course not. A HOA are there to make some extra money off you and screw with you as much as possible.
The neighborhood I used to live in as a kid, that has one has recently started putting out actual little patrol cars with the neighborhood name in the side of the Car. They get to be all big and pretend to be police now.
HOAs are almost as bad as unelected Government bureaucrats
You'd surely have a good case to sue if your stuff got taken. But the HOA probably had a no-sue clause in their contract.
Signing on to this HOA stuff is like buying a time share.
No one in the HOA that voted for this rule is right in the head. Homeowner's need to band together and disband their HOA if they ever want a semblance of a peaceful life.
News: “Honey, are your parents around?”
Kid: “Na, I just signed this lease agreement and let me tell ya, their HOA is no joke”

He's independently wealthy. Probably a hard working man
that's called success.
I have yet to see a benefit to live with an HOA .... I'm happy I can do what I want in my house and property.
HOAs should be illegal. I would never buy a home where there's an HOA. May as well be the Karen Police Department.
HAHAHA that was funny! 🤣🤣🤣
Why do HOAs exist in the first place?
@@Firefox1189 I'm wondering the same thing, and so far all the problems that HOA is supposed to deal with are simple things that can be done fairly easy without surrendering your freedom...
I would get it if this was a private zone, where the access is controlled and all of that, but considering they are worried about robbery I doubt it.
I’m glad I live in a non HOA neighborhood in Az,plus they know ain’t nobody trying to live In a garage where the temperature are 110 or 113•f.it would as inhumane as the hitler crematorium.😂
HOA’s pretty much make it as if you don’t even own your home, it’s like you’re renting it from them.
This kid gets my vote.
I wonder - did his parents just say to him “Son, can you go out there and talk to the reporter? We are shy.”
😂
His parents were under house arrest for closing the garage door he was just there spokesperson
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
that day he became the man of the house.
Interesting the HOA wants people’s garages open but don’t even keep open their own office
Ha!! Great point! Just more “do as we say, not as we do”.
EXACTLY a bunch of hypocrites!!! More libtard idoit rules at work to rob and make the public less safe
REPUBLICAN KARENS No doubt
Guaranteed the HOA is run by Democrats/Communist!!!!!😡
@@hughmongous6613 The rule is to prevent people from *living* there. They are republicans, no question about it.
If leaving the garage door opened isn’t in the CCR’s, it is unenforceable. The Board cannot alter the CCR’s either. They need quorum at the meeting of homeowners and the owners vote on the change.
Not necessarily. Rules and Regulations can be passed by the board alone and can provide detailed guidance and operational management for an HOA without changing the CC&Rs as long as they do not contradict or impose new restrictions that alter homeowners' rights defined in the CC&Rs. The HOA board has significant flexibility to adapt rules to meet community needs. Rules and Regulations can be established by the HOA board to manage day-to-day operations and community conduct and provide more specific guidelines on vague CC&R provisions.
@
Wrong. The board cannot modify the CCRs. Only an owners meeting with quorum can vote and modify, delete or add rules. HOAs are governed by the State they are in and that is a standard state rule so boards don’t have unfettered power over owners.
When the kid makes more sense than an entire committee of bored adults
He makes more sense, because he has an entire brain. The H.O.A. has to share the one brain cell.

My parents had problems with their HOA. All it took was 51% of the members to get together and agree to dismantle the HOA. End of HOA and it's problems!
Michael Cull I want to do that , but I need a super majority of 2/3 of members.
If only they did, most HOAs are community bullies!
Michael Cull Share how they did it.
NaKaRa it's usually takes 10% of membership to call a special meeting. Then you have to get, in my case 2/3 supermajority,to dissolve the HOA. It's all in your HOA documents. Look it up
Lil Crumb when making a major change in an HOA, it's critical to have a team that goes door to door and gets voter proxies (if you cc&rs allow proxy votes). Then you can get enough to make the changes. I've been there and done that!
Do not live where there is a HOA.
Dude then there’s no point of a garage. Isn’t a garage to store and protect your belongings? Stupid move by the hoa
I mean at that point its just a carport
A garage is a place to park your car...a shed or basement to be used for belongings. Either way it’s used to protect property.
@Johnny Tyronne I wasn’t explaining what your friend uses his garage for. I was explaining the original purpose of a garage.
@@muscleeveryday
I know more people that can't get a car in their garage because it's being used for storage. I think there's been a paradigm shift in the garage's official intended use.
@@muscleeveryday Unfortunately many HOAs have a no shed policy.
The first mistake is moving into a HOA’s neighborhood.
First mistake is letting HOAs exist.

@D. B. Cooper depends on the neighborhood. Some are HOA, some aren't. In my area, its becoming more and more common, to the point that it's actually difficult to find a place to live that isn't "governed" by HOA.
I just moved in to hoa house nobody has bothered me yet. I just like to go outside clean Ar-15 and Ak-47 etc
my mother in law was harassed by her HOA for not maintaining the (privacy fenced) backyard when she was going through chemo. HOA's are cartoonishly evil
@@zparkplug2788 and that's why people hate HOAs. While in THEORY they're a good idea the powers can be abused..
HOAs should be illegal. You own your home, not the community.
They tac it onto the contract when you buy a home sometimes and you can't buy the house without joining
checkbord spy I’d never buy a home where I was force to join HOA.
It's cute that you think you own things.
aenn aenn Well as close to owning it as you can. I mean if you forget to pay your taxes they take the thing from you but the illusion you own things is all most people need to be satisfied.
It’s messed up but the bankers have got their hands on everything of actual value.
Drake Harris That was one of the things I looked for when buying my home. I did not want an HOA. My friend’s sister lived in an upscale neighborhood with an HOA. It sounded like a nightmare. You were not allowed to park trucks in front of the homes. You were not allowed to have parties on the weekend. All dogs had to be behind a fence in the backyard, even if you had a fence or gate up front. Other ridiculous things as well. She was always being fined and taken to court. She always won her cases, but she eventually got fed up and left the area.
When I moved in, the new neighborhood was trying to start up a Homeowners’ Association. I flat refused. Apparently enough of my new neighbors felt the same way about it.
Those of you stuck with them, sue ‘em to force them to accept total responsibility for the security of your homes.
Leaving your garage door open is equivalent to leaving the front door open! Moral of story: Don't move into a neighborhood with an HOA!!!
Then it would be in your best interest to stay away from big cities like Houston and Chicago etc.
HOA’s are the most ridiculous things ever created.
There should be a law against HOAs. Stupid to have someone in control of people homes. Never would I move anywhere they have one.
@@Anna-zy8sj, you are 100% correct. Furthermore, every penny they get from homeowners is theft. HOA is an evil cult

That’s life in the “land of the free”. They will criminalize anything here, even having a garage.
I love that they’re interviewing the 9 year old like he is the sole proprietor of the home and owns all those things ❤️

This is why many new build neighborhoods in my area advertise "no HOA" as a bonus
Exactly! Having come from a townhouse community with a garbage HOA that the charged ridiculous fees, no HOA was a nonnegotiable on my house hunting list.
