Mine won't. :-(( Shove those antenna up the landlords ass. Ask him if he would rather have the antenna in the air or up his ass. If he says he wants it up his ass then break it off for him. Landlords suck assholes. Gee, maybe you should save your money and buy your OWN home, then you can do what you want with it. An even better experience would be, buy a home with your own money and rent it to those that think "Landlords suck assholes" After a few missed rent payments your outlook will suddenly change, you will wonder why does that %^&$#^$ think I should support him. It's not my fault he lost a job, got fired, car broke down, had to take the kid to the emergency room. It's not my fault he didn't save any money for a rainy day! My most fun story is the guy that replaced a mailbox, he was in the middle of being kicked out. He went out and bought a $40 mailbox expecting me to pay for it. I told him to keep the mailbox. When he left he took the mailbox. The post for this mailbox was a buried telephone pole, it wasn't going anywhere. When I installed my new $5.00 mailbox I mounted a 2"x6" board to the pole with 5" x 5/16" lag bolts, then I mounted the mailbox to the 2x6 with seven 3 1/4" drywall screws. I would have liked to seen his face when he whacked that mailbox and it didn't go flying away. I hope he didn't hurt himself, NOT He was gone about three days before he did this. I waited another week and put up a new mailbox. Mike PS. One day the toilet overflowed I had to remove about 40 kotex from the sewer pipe one cold day in January. PSS. sold all the rentals no more %^&$#^$ to put up with. So, you're saying you like/defend suck-asshole asshole landlords? or what? |

Pre-existing non HOA communities are forming HOA's to protect themselves from intrusion by commercial interests that cannot get traction in other HOA communities. AND...in at least two counties, here, there are basic CC&R's in place on undeveloped land, levied by county boards, in speculation that developers may wish to move that way. Meaning, you can buy a piece of land in deep weeds, build a home with your own hands, and before you close the door, be in violation of antenna restrictions. Even though the nearest neighbor may be an hour away. Rejecting HOA communities, today, may mean having to move a half a continent away. You can't even homestead property on the tundra, anymore. |

I don't believe it was in place when I bought my house eleven years ago. But I've been hearing it now for a number of years from sources within both the real estate community, and media.

SNIPPED If the CC&R is "provided by the Assembly" is that to be understood as an agency of government? The Assembly is an agency of government, yes. The boilerplate CC&R's provided, as I've read them, are provided as a guideline. Local HOA's are free to amend them as necessary, or as desired. Or to create CC&R's of their own. There are in a number of states, now--Maryland and Delaware among them--agencies of government which, at least in theory, oversee the operations of HOA's within the state, and are the authority to which residents may appeal cases of malfeasance, or abuse. In Maryland, this agency has relatively broad powers, and works quite effectively at bringing errant HOA's into compliance. In other states...not so. In many states, HOA's, and their oversight agencies, are not aware of the federal exemption protecting TV and small dish antennae, Ham and CB antennae, and--at least in the opinion of a couple of FCC Commissioners--shortwave receiving antennae. It's up to the homeowner to keep current of the regs, rulings and opinions of FCC regarding antennae for radio hobbycraft. These may be the homeowner's only weapons when the issue becomes heated on the front lawn. There is a growing number of books out there, today, regarding the gathering nightmare of HOA abuse, offering accurate information state by state, and remedies in the event of abuse. Do a websearch. There's a LOT of information out there. |

But how many really know about that exemption going in? And frankly, how many really think about this issue when the realtor is throwing around numbers? You would. I would. There are others here who would. But by and large, no. Home buyers, as a group do not consider this issue when making the purchase. Preferring to bitch after the fact. Then, again, most HOA's that I've gotten to deal with have been absolutely unwilling to both answer questions or provide copies of bylaws and regulations to which they hold homeowners responsible. One former member, here--who worked at VOA for years, is an active ham and SWL--lived under the shadow of an HOA which refused to provide him a copy of the bylaws, even after a ruling in his favor by the Maryland HOA oversight agency. You're right. Exemptions and unlawful restrictions SHOULD be claimed and defended prior to purchase. It doesn't happen. |
