First let's not that most CC&Rs and/or Home Owner Asocciation terms are not
clearly stated nor are they easy to discover on your own. I used to see
CC&Rs that were recorded on one section of land and then incorporated by
reference to the terms on another plot. Home Owner Associations are often
have their powers set up by the builder, and many buyers don't discover they
are affected by the terms of the HOA until either they run afoul of the
terms or they are affected by the deeds or actions of another supposed
member. It's not likely that hidden terms will go away anytime soon, but I
suggest that a limited life for the existence of cc&rs or Home Owner
Associations might not be a bad idea. The concept of something running with
the land isn't one most folk readily grasp!
