  1. Maybe he should have read the covenants.
    14
  2. A lot of cities have ordinances that prevent this by requiring that the car can’t be in the same spot for more than 3 days.
    12
  3.  @jawsch  But the rules specify prohibit TRUCKS.
    7
  4. It’s a pickup TRUCK!!!!
    6
  5. @Mr. Mackey It’s your problem if you don’t read contracts, nothing to do with me.
    6
  6. One person doesn’t change the HOA rules. He had the option to petition the HOA homeowners to get the rules changed at anytime, regardless if he was on the board.
    4
  7. Was the car registered under the company?
    4
  8.  @WANDERER0070  Are all of those ALSO TRUCKS?
    3
  9. How about this TRUCK owner go through the proper process of trying to change the rules?
    3
  10. Irrelevant. The HOA rules say no trucks. There are ways to change the rules but this guy is too lazy to do that. He’d rather just complain to the news station.
    3
  11.  @Staatus_Quo  They are enforcing the rules that the guy agreed to when he purchased his house!!!
    3
  12.  @Turk_2023  I’m sure that you can Google it. How many pages is in software agreements?
    3
  13. The HOA BOARD cannot make the rules, they have to be APPROVED by at least (often by well over) a majority of the homeowners.
    3
  14. He agreed to the terms.
    3
  15. Then I guess that he can charge it during the day.
    2
  16. Because he agreed to the CONTRACT with the HOA when he purchased his house!!!
    2
  17.  @claudettedoyley9056  I’m sure that the HOA rules state how the rules can be changed. He needs to actually do a little work and try to change the rules. If the homeowners don’t agree to change the rules, then he can a) move, b) move the truck elsewhere, c) sell the truck, or d) HOW ABOUT CLEANING OUR YOUR GARAGE AND MAKE ROOM?!?
    2
  18. Or they can go through the proper process to CHANGE THE RULES!
    2
  19.  @thanosianthemadtitanic  Your freedom cannot interfere with other people’s freedom.
    2
  20. So do most motorhomes and semis. Irrelevant.
    2
  21. Because it also dictates HOW OTHERS in your neighborhood use (or abuse) THEIR SPACE! It’s a MUTUAL CONTRACT.
    2
  22.  @draconus003  How do you know that changes HAVEN’T been made? There is a PROCESS to change them. He needs to do that!
    2
  23. Or know what you’re getting into.
    2
  24. The covenants stated TRUCKS AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES. If they only meant commercial vehicles, then trucks wouldn’t have been also specifically mentioned.
    1
  25. He agreed to the rules when he purchased the house.
    1
  26. The homeowners are free to go through the proper process to change the rules.
    1
  27. Exactly, and there is a process to do that.
    1
  28. He agreed to the “ridiculous rules” when he bought the house.
    1
  29. Exactly!
    1
  30.  @jhopkins213  Or they can go through the process to try to change the rules.
    1
  31. It all comes down to what the definition of truck is.
    1
  32. Give it a few years.
    1
  33. Right, people unwilling to abide by a contract that they freely agreed to.
    1
  34. Pickup: 1. a small TRUCK with an enclosed cab and open back.
    1
  35. EVs are irrelevant, no rules about that. This is a TRUCK.
    1
  36.  @Staatus_Quo  Pickup: 1. a small TRUCK with an enclosed cab and open back.
    1
  37.  @claudettedoyley9056  First of all, the BOARD doesn’t update the rules, they need the HOMEOWNERS to request and approve the changes! Secondly, learn the difference between “there” and “their”! Your ignorance certainly doesn’t give you any confidence in your ignorant statement. THIRDLY, the fact that it isn’t a commercial vehicle is IRRELEVANT since the rules state TRUCK.
    1
  38.  @Staatus_Quo  Plenty? Please reference five court cases, and at least one needs to be in Florida. Did those cases specifically deal with the word TRUCK specifically being prohibited?
    1
  39. Because that’s what the rules are that he agreed to when he purchased the house!!!
    1
  40. Irrelevant, the rules prohibit TRUCKS.
    1
  41. That’s what you are SUPPOSED TO DO PRIOR to buying a house.
    1
  42. Would be the same.
    1
  43. Like a car, boat, motorcycle?
    1
  44. Because he agreed to the terms of the HOA WHEN HE BOUGHT THE HOUSE!!!!
    1
  45. He agreed to the rules when he purchased the house!
    1
  46. Then he can try to change the rules.
    1
  47. Did they make the boat rule AFTER you purchased the house or boat?!? Your stupid problem.
    1
  48.  @darrennew8211  in EVERY STATE!
    1
  49.  @LT4Nova  The deed and home purchase contract includes the HOA rules as part of the contract.
    1
  50. Why would you leave that outside overnight?!?
    1
  51. He agreed to the terms when he purchased the house.
    1
  52. It’s a CHOICE!!! Read the covenants BEFORE buying.
    1
  53.  @TheAnnoyingBoss  Only the HOA contract specifies what you AGREED TO!
    1
  54. But the rules clearly state TRUCK.
    1
  55.  @jerzyhans9799  The rules state “commercial vehicle” IN ADDITION to “truck”.
    1
  56.  @darrennew8211  Right, the HOA covenants cover how to properly charge the rules.
    1
  57. It just says TRUCK!!! Therefore it applies to ALL TRUCKS!!!
    1
  58. They are ENFORCING THE RULES!
    1
  59. Shouldn’t WORK vehicles be parked AT WORK?!?
    1
  60. That’s fine. Follow the rules, properly change the rules, or leave.
    1
  61.  @nanoflower1  Irrelevant, as you said, pickup TRUCK!
    1
  62. No, but there is a PROPER WAY to change the rules.
    1
  63. Because it also applies to everyone else in the HOA.
    1
  64. There are defined processes on how to change the rules, but you basically have that correct.
    1
  65. They are usually created by the developers.
    1
  66. Or he could work to have the rules changed.
    1
  67. They decided BEFORE he bought the house AND TRUCK!!!!
    1
  68. It’s not allowed by the rules. Plain and simple.
    1
  69. No, it is a TRUCK!!! Commercial vehicles are ALSO PROHIBITED!
    1
  70. No. It’s a TRUCK, and TRUCKS are PROHIBITED!
    1
  71.  @davidperry4013  Maybe he should try to have the rule changed, as defined in his HOA contract?
    1
  72. Examples?
    1
  73. But HE DID!!!!
    1
  74. It’s NOT considered a commercial vehicle, it is considered a TRUCK!!! Read the language in the contract that was shown in the video.
    1
  75. Sure you can.
    1
  76. They are SUVs, not trucks.
    1
  77. He should have known the rules PRIOR to purchasing the house!
    1
  78. The homeowners FREELY enter into the HOA CONTRACTS!!!!
    1
  79. What exactly was the rule?
    1
  80. The rules only state TRUCK, not commercial truck. There ALSO is a provision for no commercial vehicles.
    1
  81. But the rules still say TRUCKS!!!
    1
  82. Irrelevant
    1
  83. EXACTLY! That is the PROPER WAY to handle this. Or he can clean out his garage or move another vehicle outside.
    1
  84. Irrelevant, that’s what the rules state. He can easily try to get the rules changed, but he’d rather complain to the news station.
    1
  85. It’s a TRUCK, and TRUCKS are PROHIBITED. End of story.
    1
  86. Maybe he should just try to change the rules.
    1
  87.  @brentneahring2797  They can’t just create new rules that aren’t in the contract without going through a vote by the HOA homeowners. Any violation must reference the section of the covenants that are being violated.
    1
  88. It’s quite fine for me.
    1
  89. What would you put in the back?
    1
  90. Learn how to write. The rules clearly state that TRUCKS are prohibited, regardless of when the rule was written. There are ways to change the rules, and he needs to follow that process!
    1
  91. Good, I hate those things.
    1
  92. So that the HOA can enforce rules that THEY want forced AGAINST OTHERS.
    1
  93. I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
    1
  94. He’s enforcing the RULES that the homeowner AGREED TO!!!
    1
  95. I think that you are wrong. Regardless, the rules say TRUCKS.
    1
  96.  @jerzyhans9799  It’s a TRUCK, which IS PROHIBITED!!!! Commercial vehicles are ALSO prohibited, as are RVs!
    1
  97. Then change the rules! They currently prohibit TRUCKS, and he owns a pickup TRUCK.
    1
  98. How about knowing what the rules are before buying a $100k vehicle!
    1
  99. Maybe they should have just sold the house and bought one that didn’t have those restrictions.
    1
  100. It’s against the rules. Don’t like it then change the rules!
    1
  101. Same with property taxes.
    1
  102. Or he can follow the proper procedures for changing the rules!
    1
  103. Because they are SUVs, NOT TRUCKS. There are no prohibitions for SUVs!!!
    1
  104. How does Zillow indicate that it is a NEGATIVE?!? Filtering goes both ways!
    1
  105.  @vihtoripuurola3775  It’s a pickup TRUCK! Pickup: 1. a small TRUCK with an enclosed cab and open back.
    1
  106.  @D44rkFx  Since there is no mention, then TRUCK COVERS IT!!! Heavy truck was NOT EXCLUDED!!!
    1
  107.  @enzop2835  I’ll bet nothing ever goes in the bed of that truck. Stupid.
    1
  108.  @treborretsnom6186  The rules just say TRUCK, not WORK truck.
    1
  109. How about leaving your work truck parked AT WORK?!?
    1
  110. It’s fine for me.
