HOA Get What They Deserve After They Fine People For Putting Up A Metal Roof

Homeowners’ associations do not have a good reputation.

While HOA is supposed to be for the people of the neighborhood and to help them, it is more likely that you will see them enforcing arbitrary rules and imposing ridiculous fines. Many people who join HOAs do so solely for the power that these positions provide. This also gives them an excuse to target their disliked neighbors. The HOA members are supposed to be objective, but when are humans not biased? So seeing a story like this does not surprise me in the least. After all, I’d be more surprised if the HOA was portrayed as the hero of a story.

After a particularly bad hurricane, this family desired to build a metal roof for their home. They weren’t sure if that would be possible because the HOA did not allow metal roofs. Granted, this was a very old rule, and the metal roofs mentioned in that law were not built in the same way that metal roofs are built today. Despite this, the HOA went after this family even after they tried to get permission and do it the right way. As it turned out, the HOA was only interested in raising funds for the neighborhood sign, and the best way to do so was to fine people. This did not sit well with this family, so they decided to take action.

I am always ready for a story where the HOA get what they deserve.

But first, we need to establish what actually happened that led to the HOA getting involved.

They wanted to replace the roof with a metal one to be more secure.

However, according to the old laws, that wasn’t allowed.

But the HOA seemed fine with the idea as a lot of people wanted the same thing.

However, the HOA never responded so this family went ahead with the construction.

And that is when the HOA imposed a fine.

It seems that is exactly what the HOA wanted to happen in the first place.

So at the meeting, the HOA members were looking pretty smug.

But that all went down the drain when they realized what was happening.

Not only that but they went ahead and impeached all of the board members.

it was certainly glorious and we can hope the new HOA is nothing like the old one.

People in the comments were just as surprised as me.

And absolutely loved the way all of this was handled.

Some even gave them advice as to how to handle the HOA in the future.

As you never know when the ex-members will strike back.

But all is well that ends well.
