Not My Rules
My dad retired and decided that he really wanted to buy a camper and travel. My mom was all about it, and both of them were very excited. So my dad ran off and traded his F-150 truck for an F-250 with a huge diesel V8.
He also bought a gooseneck camper and waited for spring. The camper was in the backyard, the truck in the garage, so no big deal…or so we thought. Not long after, he got a visit from a lady.
She had a list of rules from the HOA that were established long after my parents had built their house, about 15 years later when the subdivision really took off. She said that my dad can’t have the camper on his property because it was an “eyesore”.
Mind you, this camper was in the backyard, behind a six-foot privacy fence. You could still see it, sure, but it’s not like it was old and in disrepair either.
So there were my retired parents, living in a subdivision that has an HOA that was established long after they built their home, and the HOA is expecting them to abide by rules they didn’t agree to. He never moved the camper.
