I live in a subdivision that is managed by a homeowner’s association as well as while I enjoy it here, the HOA can be a bit annoying… They govern so much of what you can do with your home.
They have a say in the paint colors that you choose for your home, and my friend John wanted to paint his door purple as well as it was not approved by the HOA, then in fact, they rejected the request as soon as it was submitted. It’s part of the directions of the community to have our doors painted a certain color. And unfortunately, there is no getting around it because if you break the rule, then you will be fined, but of course, John did not agree with this, however he did nothing to violate the policy. Another friend wanted to start a honey farm in his yard as well as the HOA rejected that method as well. The directions of the HOA particularly reject beekeeping or raising any pets at all, and so, plus beekeeping, we are not allowed to have chickens either, but well, the friend decided to build the beehive in the yard in hopes that he wouldn’t get caught; Unfortunately, the HOA discovered that he had the bee hives as well as fined him every morning until he had them detachd. I remember the morning that he called the beekeepers to detach the hives from his yard. Of course, he was not happy that he lost his makeshift honey farm, however he was getting fined every morning as well as did not want to continue to accumulate those fees. Once the bee hives were detachd the HOA lowered his fines, however in the end he still had to pay the cash as well as he lost his honey farm.
