HOA fines new homeowners for violations from the previous owner: 'The guy we bought the house from had been fighting the HOA for YEARS'
There's nothing worse than being forced to clean up someone else's mess. These new homeowners assumed everything was good to go regarding compliance with HOA rules and regulations. However, just three months after buying the home, they were suddenly slapped with a ton of HOA fees for violating the bylaws. They tried to communicate that they had not made any adjustments to the house since they purchased it and therefore should not be held accountable for violations that the previous owner must have made.
Well, it turns out, after some research, the previous homeowner had been engaged in a years-long battle with the HOA over a mere 8 inches of brick he added to his driveway that does not infringe upon anyone else's property in the neighborhood. Now, should the previous owner have resolved the issue or, at the very least, disclosed it to the new homeowners when he was selling the property? Absolutely, but why should the new residents have to suffer because of someone else's negligence?
