That will fall under lawn/lot maintenance. Most all deed restrictions have fairly ambiguous language to cover such situations where people just leave stuff out. Just like they have a section where all permanent architectural changes have to be approved. I'm the president of my HOA because I was frustrated with my HOA. So, I went to a meeting and found out that the people on the board were all burnt out and jaded with their neighbors. So I volunteered (you probably don't even have to run and get voted in, most HOAs are desperate for help) and now I've been on the board for two years. We're also self managed though. We don't have a company that drives around looking for deed restrictions and we're a fairly hands off HOA.srothstein wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2023 8:07 pm Well, if you want to just drive them crazy and don't mind spending a little, kid's toys like bicycles and wagons aren't mentioned. A 3 or 4 to one scale model (as in 3 or 4 times the size) of a little red wagon left out would do the job. And it wouldn't cost too much to build it out of wood, maybe throw a little red paint on it.
The amount of people that want to fight us though is insane. Comments like "I want to bankrupt the HOA" are common and I've heard them from a guy who had two foot tall weeds in his yard and OSB covering his garage door. It's a lot easier to blow up trains than to make them run on time. If you're having issues, start going to the meetings. If you don't like what you hear, be part of the solution. Once you're on the board, you can make motions to change the deed restrictions.
