New homeowners ignore HOA president's empty threats, then get even by uncovering violations on his property: 'Greg was hit with thousands of dollars in fines'

Here's a good piece of advice for any aspiring homeowners out there: Try not to move right next door to the president of your HOA!

This couple had the unfortunate experience of enduring constant complaints from the old dude in the adjacent home. The problem was that on the surface, they couldn't do much about it. This man seemed entitled to complete control of his neighborhood given his false sense of authority.

Clearly, he was motivated by the smallest of inconveniences, most of which did not even affect his property. In fact, when he took issue with the tiny vegetable garden that the author and her spouse plants in their own backyard, the couple discovered that they actually had not violated any rules or regulations in the HOA handbook. The HOA president responded with the most nonsensical comeback, claiming that he had the power to essentially invent rules. 

This was far from the truth, and the author knew that inherently. What helped them out in the end was the impulse to return the favor and investigate if there were any legitimate violations on the HOA president's property. After all, they had suspected some hypocritical behavior here. Well, it turns out they were right!
