When I moved into my current house (the one with the voluntary HOA), the title company collected the first years fees from me at closing. I protested and told them I wasn't planning to join, but they said it wasn't optional, so I paid it. I have the statement clearly showing I paid this. A couple years later the HOA president came around asking why I'd never joined and I explained some of the problems I had with nosy neighbors and the like, and then I said besides, I paid the dues the first year and never got a key to the dock (which is the only reason, IMO to join my HOA). So as far as I'm concerned they owe me a year anyway. If they wanted to make that right, I'd consider joining in the future. Well, they went back and checked their records and they swear they never got any fees from the title company.Your title company (at least in Texas, not sure about other states) is required to provide you this information around your HOA, as well as ensure its current (at closing) by either charging seller or buyer if it is not but its known beforehand. Additionally, I'm surprised that your title company also did not pick up an extra few months of the HOA dues at this time.
Bingo. Not just when buying a home; read the fine print!!....All that to say this, maybe the same thing happened to burren. It's worth checking your closing statements.
Cut the chicken mesh wherever it ties in to your fence, and trim the fuck out of their trees even if you have to reach over into their property to do it. If they complain I guarantee the cops will side with you if your house/yard looks neatly kept and their yard looks like white trash central.Hey, when you have neighbors that are renters for life that do shit like:
- tie into your fence with chicken wire to keep their mangy dogs in, rather than actually fencing their own yard
- refuse to trim their trees because "nobody trims trees in nature, and they do just fine" so the overgrown trees drop the occasional branch on your fence
I meant to direct that to xequecal. Maybe that's what happened with him.Bingo. Not just when buying a home; read the fine print!!
This happened something like two years ago FYI, it's long past. They haven't tried anything else on me since, once I figured out how they operate I've been making sure not to give them an excuse. Instead, they've been going after other people for things like having unapproved models of grill in their backyard, or putting them directly on their patios instead of the stone surface next to their patios. (apparently it's a fire hazard to put a gas grill on a wooden surface)#1 and #2 - save the email. That is the reason you waited, and its from someone at the HOA, so they can say all day that its "irrelevant" but it's not. #3 IS true, but you need to look over your agreement. Part of the agreement should tell you where to remit payment to. What does the agreement say in regards to payment?
I thought so too, and I figured I'd have a decent shot if I were to fight it, but as I was only a three-month old homeowner I wasn't about to risk that over $300, not to mention the fact that hiring my own lawyer would obviously have cost several times that.Talk to title company, this is INSANE for them to move so quick.
