HOA Threatens to Foreclose on Residents Conducting Business at Home During Lockdown

[GURPS]

A Reddit user went to the legal advice thread with a question about being evicted for working from his condo along with 24 other "offenders."

The HOA complaint -- which was verified as legit by thread moderators -- says, "It has come to our attention that you are in violation of Article VII, Section 8 of our Bylaws" which state that "Commercial business may not be maintained or transacted on any Lot or in any residential unit." As a result, "we will be invoking section II, Article 4 of the Bylaws, which allows the Board to foreclose on any property that is in violation." The HOA president demands, "You must vacate the premises by April 30, 2020."

The letter is dated March 30, 2020, and here's a screencap of it:

Good luck trying to get this enforced. I don't think this would fly in court this year. Hell, it might not even get to court this year! If they're like this county and state - all the courts are closed!

I am, too. Seriously.

I have an HOA, and I don't like the fact that I have one. However, it was the "best house for me at the time" I was buying and I needed a nice place to finish raising my boys. Mostly they're okay, but they have their moments, too.

HOA officers are limitless in their quest for power. They are such pathetic little twits that they revel in Gladys Kravitzing around trying to find something to bitch about and make themselves feel relevant.

The only response they deserve is, "**** you."

Sounds like they were not concerned about the home businesses before the Chi-Com Flu because it had no impact. Shut down caused somebody to bring home that does. Told he couldn't, then he says X and Y does. So out goes the letters.

He should have the police arrest them for having an unauthorized meeting of over 10 people.

No HOA is small enough that it can't breed some 'little Hitler' behavior.

If you can, never buy in HOA. Why give more a-holes power over property that you pay for?

An HOA Is a joke. It does seem to correlate with what our current liberal gov is trying to do. Good post. bear.

I had an HOA at the house in Frederick and they were insufferable. When I bought my house in Great Mills my first stipulation was NO HOA. Fortunately my agent @Christy agreed and didn't even pull crap that was in one of those 'hoods.

An HOA is comparable to the far left Dem party. You will do as I say. When we moved, we looked for a neighborhood that did not have an HOA.

Fixed it for you.
