Everything is Fine
We just bought a house and I told our realtor that was the only absolute deal breaker. Even if he said a house was perfect I wouldn’t bother driving there if it was in a HOA.
At our last rental they tried to fine us for things the previous tenant had done that hadn’t happened since we moved in (garbage cans left out, grass uncut, etc).
Then when provided with the dates that were prior to our lease being signed, the rental company said the old renters couldn’t be contacted so I was responsible.
Nope. Bunch of crooks. I’ve told them to take me to court and if they choose to I’ll happily waste the money. Sn00dlerr
