I am presently living in a HOA community and desperately trying to get out. Some of these people are thieves, we have funds missing from the reserve fund.

My water has been cut Off by these monsters yesterday. I am 63 years old and my sister that live with me is 65. For not painting my house fast enough they want $6, 100. I did paint 3 weeks pass my warning date. I am so stressed out I can't sleep I cried all last night. I am going to sell my townhome asap. I am looking for an apartment and they are so expensive I am waking up to having to go to a friends house and bathe and brush my teeth. I have just lived here 3 years and I loved my house now I got to leave. I just can't deal with this. Thank you for this information.

I lived in an HOA once! That was enough for me to last a lifetime. It was impossible to contact the HOA board members for problems. The monthly fees went to high for what we had as amenities. They played favorites with certain residents and punished others for things they made up. It was crazy! I left within a year and made sure my new house was NOT in a HOA area.

Rented a house in an HOA once that didn’t allow parking on the street from 2-6 AM. Tow truck drivers would pull up to the neighborhood early and start cruising looking for targets. Cars would be immediately towed if in violation. Had a car towed from the driveway because the corner of the bumper was an inch over the sidewalk (we had company overnight, and crammed three cars into a 2-car driveway). Had another car already gone when we went out at 1:58 to move it. Luckily we didn't have to pay for that one since we were on the phone with security before 2AM complaining that our car was either stolen, or towed before two. Completely screwed up our next day though, and we were never compensated, nor did anyone suffer any consequences, for what was technically Grand Theft Auto.

That alone was enough to make me never want to live in an HOA again.

If I ever had to buy in an HOA I would 1st have a lawyer read all the paper work and fine print ....2nd would talk with where I have my home loan and show them I know my rights & have a lawyer, then tell them to let me know if HOA ever sends them anything & find out what the banks rights vs mine are when HOA communicates with them....3rd keep up with my states laws on HOA ....4th make sure HOA keeps community informed and 5th ignore the above and NEVER EVER buy in an HOA community.

In Bradenton I got in a fight with an hoa at a lennar homes community about parking my ford ranger in the driveway, It had a truck box they thought it was a commercial vehicle.

Have never and will NEVER live in an HOA. My property my rules simple as that. Hand your freedom to someone else if you want to.

I live in an HOA. It’s been eight years. I’ve had one complaint and that was about a tree aggressively growing over the fence. I enjoy living here I don’t cut no lawn I don’t have the paint my house. My Internet is included I have 24 hour security. There are so many benefits I’m 75 and I’m not picky. I moved out of a big house with a pool and all the work. There is a pool here that I don’t have to clean I am. A widow It’s perfect for me😮

We got a HOA that purchased a golf cart around 1 to 1.5 years ago and the board member husband just rides on it and stops at their unit multiple times a day and comes back out and does practically nothing just riding around.

This place was built in 1970 and never and I do mean never needed a golf cart. And now they spent $14, 000 on a joy ride vehicle.

And we pay for it!

I paid my fine and then took the hoa to small claims court, which turned out to be the wrong venue but the hoa had to spend their annual 5k Legal budget to contend with me. So, the Small Claims judge "strongly" advised me to take it to Circuit Court. I didn't, because I would have to find and negotiate with a mediator first and I figured if the hoa wanted to continue the conflict, they could find the mediator. Eventually, I let the case close. The positive is that I learned the hoa has a limited legal budget and when they are likely to lose, they will quit. They haven't bothered me since.

I lived through one HOA. Never again. My current property had one covenant: no farm animals. Lucky for me I run a dog rescue.

HOAs need to be abolished make it illegal to have such an established situation within a community, nothing should be able to put a lien on your house and take your home because of any reason! That's insane crazy!

[cindyonyoutube]

Thanks for providing this really helpful info. We used to live in an HOA community that had a ton of clipboard warriors who spent their days driving up & down streets measuring the length of your grass.

I am glad our politicians got involved because some people will not lose their homes and the unthinkable will happen and it could have been avoided with common sense.

Ur prisoners in ur own homes with an HOA

HB1203 (2024) is another one that covers lots of what you've talked about! this one also covers parking since there are HOAs that limit what car/ truck you can park in your own driveway

Just last week, I backed out of the purchase of my forever, retirement home at a decent price in a very-well kept, amenity-laden FL HOA. During the inspection period, I was able to get my hands on the very-lengthy governing documents. I learned that, while reserves appeared well-funded, there is actually two HOAs in the development (one for the single-family homes and one for the condo buildings), plus one HOA over the several developments in the area, plus one Community Development District. That's a little more oversight than I think I want.

Total Fees aren't too bad right now ($6000/yr), I can see HOA and CDD fees escalating out of control over time to maintain the facilities and infrastructure, now getting on 20 years old. And the HOA master insurance policy increased 20% for 2024. Ideally, I think I'd like to rent in this place, and be able to walk away at any time.

Thanks for the info! Question, in Florida, if the current hoa board were to resign and no other homeowners step up to fill the roles, doesn't the government take over the HOA immediately plummeting values of the entire neighborhood? Thanks again!
