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.

This is why one must insist on seeing the details before signing.


If it were that simple, no problem, but convenants and restrictions running
with the land are often well hidden. Truthfully a seller only has to be
able to legally convey the property and use of the land it sits on, any
other deed restrictions are there. Even an attorney who specializes in real
estate can miss well hidden CC&Rs or not notice how significant antennas
being restricted, or not being able to park an RV in the backyard can be
until after it's too late. HOAs can be really problematic, even after
you've lived some place for let's say 2 decades, said association can change
its rules/regulations and produce results which are really undesirable.

The really sad part is that the FCC could decrease restrictions on Antennas
and supporting structures rather easily as it did with satellite dishes and
less than one meter TV antennas, but I suggest that builders and realty
sellers oppose any such change.
