New HOA board member goes power-hungry, gets hit with 30 rule violations after neighbor digs up old 47-page handbook out of spite: 'Rules are rules, right?'

• So, the homeowner decided to play Marcus’s favorite game. They dug up the 47-page HOA covenant from 2008 and started enforcing every single line—including rules no one had followed in years. Ring doorbells, decorative flags, and visible garbage bins are all technically violations.

  Within a week, thirty reports hit the HOA inbox, including ones for Marcus himself.

  The HOA president, who’d just been enjoying her quiet retirement, was suddenly fielding a storm of notices and complaints. In the end, Marcus came knocking, suddenly ready to talk about finding a reasonable middle ground. Funny how that works. 

  Sometimes the only way to beat an HOA tyrant is to give them exactly what they asked for.
