do you have an hoa horror story?
Published Oct 23, 2008Views: 1764
Hello GOLO:
Have you ever had an issue with a homeowner's association? I belonged to one for 8 years in Florida and never had a major issue, though I wasn't always happy with the policies.
I consider myself lucky though because I've heard some wild stories, and there were many of them in the Sunshine State.
Just want to point out the story on WRAL-TV about a homeowner whose association tried to force her to replace the trim on her house AFTER they approved it..at a cost of nearly $18,000.
How about you? Do you have an HOA horror story? Do tell.
(Update: Be sure to catch the follow-up on the incredible power of homeowner's associations and why you have to know the rules, airing on WRAL News Thursday, November 13 at 5:00pm)

for 91$
Luckily, at the time, I was dating a lawyer and he called and ripped them a new one. They had deposited the check in the wrong homeowners account. They removed the lien and then tried to charge me a late fee, lien fee and an attorney fee. Total amount, $781.00.
A new one was ripped. I HATE HOAs...
