    When we bought in our subdivision, we were thrilled to have such a beautiful place to live. Little did we know that our subdivision would be destroyed by an outrageous HOA who wants to bully and harass people. HOA's should be banned. I will never move in to another subdivision with one after this horrific experience.

    Our HOA is out of control. How did Americans get into this situation where Boards are arbitrary (enforcing some covenants and ignoring others) and just plain mean. HOAs should be dissolved and reorganized where the homeowners have some protection from renegade Boards.

    HOA's do nothing but rip-off homeowners with ridiculous fees that increase ever year. I did not purchase my home to have some neighborhood bully harass me about how I use my property. As long as I manage my property in a way that respects my neighbors and my community, they need to butt out. They don't pay my mortgage so they have no right to dictate how I live in my own home. Get rid of them.

    My hoa is not abiding by laws but who do you go to to have them enforced? We have zero rights! I've even given them mortgage documents showing them when we purchased our home we did have an HOA & thy still threaten leans. So sad to feel stuck after being in this home for 11yrs & some power hungry resident that's only lived here a year feels he is above the law.

    HOA's is a form of a shadow government that dictates people in every way that fall under tham. They illegally tax and have no problems violating law to abuse you.

    With the downturn in the economy the two builders in our neighborhood, re-wrote the by-laws so that the homeowners can't have control until the development is 98% complete. Meanwhile they have stopped maintaining their lots and paying into the HOA fund for the undeveloped lots all while sending nasty grams to homeowners including saying they should prune their shrubs in August in Georgia. Brilliant!! Last year they doubled our assessment to cover not paid by the builders who run the HOA. Feels like organized crime to me.

    I am drafting my small-court claim case now. My HOA "amended" the covenants through a resolution and we were forced to sell our vehicle.

    Homeowners Associations conduct enforcement of codes that should be at the city or county level. These severe restrictions cause neighbors to turn on one another as some HOAs provide "rewards" for members bringing violations to their attention.

    I am a registered voter and vote in every election. If homeowner's associations are not eliminated, then there should be severe restrictions. It should definitely be illegal to tell someone they cannot park in their own driveway or can't use their garage for storage.

    HOA's are supposed to foster a community spirit. What I have seen is a community where people spy and resort to kindergarten type tattling. HOA should care the "common" areas and overall appearance, NOT what is happening inside the home. They certainly should not have foreclosure rights. Turning unpaid fees to a collection agency is what "normal" business do.

    The HOA in my neighborhood is cliquish, they act unprofessionally, they lie and they pick on certain residents like moving trash cans to the center of their driveway if they are not put away the same day as trash pickup. They even put trash in mailboxes. They amend the CC&R's to suit themselves and are as morally bankrupt as can be. Unbelievable!

    Homeowner's ASSociations are just like having another government within a government. They have too much power but don't do any good for the homeowners. They raise the association fees without following their own covenant, they charge late fees even if the homeowner never received the initial billing, they add penalty charges and outrageous legal fees to your bill and eventually evict you from your home even if they never paid a cent toward your mortgage. The only people that benefit from the HOA are the management companies and the lawyers that they retain, like keeping sharks in a tank, just waiting for someone to fall in. DISSOLVE ALL HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATIONS NATIONWIDE! It should be illegal. It's like having the "godfather" taking care of his family, but somehow the "godfather" may even be better.
