HOA sues retired Texas City couple for up to $100,000 for flower beds that don’t meet guidelines
HOA sues retired Texas City couple for up to $100,000 for flower beds that don’t meet guidelines
Klaas and Dorothy Tadema moved into their home in Texas City after their home in Dickinson flooded during Harvey.
Why would they not go to the city?
The HOA is to homeowners what vaccine mandates are to American citizens😡
Isn’t there a constitutional right over excessive fines?
thought you were free in america. cant even grow flowers or use certain bricks
They want to steal the house
With HOA’s , you don’t have any freedom . The basic premise behind HOA’s should be good, " setting standards for all whom live in the community" . But when you can’t even plant flowers in your own yard without getting permission or have the color of chair you choose on your patio, then it’s getting out of control.
I’m moving to Texas from California and this sound like California’s government but in texas.
HOA ARE NOTHING MORE THAN CORRUPT CRIMINALS!!
PEOPLE DON’T PURCHASE A HOME THAT HAS HOA, EVER!!!!
Should be like our community ROC where the community votes. No HOA
There are always people who just want to bully and intimidate those of us for nothing just because they just want to make themselves feel better. Those people need to be brought to justice for bully tactics and intimidation.
This ridiculous. People should finally wake up and stand up and destroy those criminal groups !
They could hire a hit man for half that amount lmao
creepy.
Why are HOAs a thing again?
HOA MEMBERS knew and agreed to the rules of the HOA
contract, before they purchase of the property.
HOAs are simply socialist/communist way of controlling the masses, much akin to Demon-cRats in government.
A lot of HOAs are bullshyt. I guess they don’t have they funds to buys multiple rental communities and set the rules.
I lived in an HOA neighborhood once. I destroyed everything they ever planted and defaced as much of the common areas as i could. I would watch all weekend while all the mindless drones huff and puff and plant flowers everywhere and I would send my young minions out at night to destroy them. Don’t ever tell me I cant wash my boat in my front yard. I made the bastards pay in every way I could. I will never forget the letter I received from the HOA happily telling everyone that had now retained an Attorney. I sent them a note back and told it is not good news to me that I am now paying for legal council that can used against ME !The Pretty Heron Pointe sign they erected with glee was promptly defaced with all manner of unpleasant things (No profanity, I didnt want the kids to see such). The good news is that all these years later, I live on 6 acres of swamp. Me , the old lady and the dogs. NO TRESPASSING
Don’t buy in an HOA. End of story. Only stupid people buy in an HOA.
Why do people join HOA’s ?
Rule number 1: Avoid buying houses in neighborhoods that require you to join an HOA and be subject to its rules. If you cannot find a neighborhood without a HOA, then buy several acres of land in a rural area and build your house there.
Everybody that follows this rule will cause HOAs to go bankrupt and as a result, cease to exist. As for me, if I want common amenities such as a common swimming pool, fitness center, etc., then I would either rent an apartment or join a social club. HOAs are like having a landlord micromanage everything you do while you arr living in a house you are supposed to own and not rent. The advantage of rdnting over an HOA is you can up and leave after your lease expires and not having to worry about selling the house and finding a buyer for it. I would strongly recommend renting instead of buying a house that is tied into an HOA.
LOL, I thought Texas was "free"
The saddest part is that most neighborhood now a day has HOA
🥴 That’s silly
The answer is simple.
PEOPLE! STOP BUYING INTO THESE RIDICULOUS HOAs!!!
IT’s no different than those "time share" scams.
It’s been 1.5 years, so I wonder how this ended. Time to research it, I guess.
I sure hope that they won this DRACONIAN HOA court case.
HOA is a scam!
i have no sympathy for the HOA
Just leave them alone!
There just jealous cause they can’t grow pretty flowers
🤣🤣🤣booooooommmmmmeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrsssssss😂😂😂
The HOA doesn’t comment on pending lawsuits. Translation: we don’t want to make ourselves look like fools on national TV
Tyrants!
texas city has one of highest cancer rates in the nation, the least of their worries is a flower bed, so stupid.
I learned this at the age of 28 when my HOA went haywire and demanded 11k…sold the place and bought a house with no HOA
I think everyone forgets that an HOA is made up of your fellow neighbors. Just go knock on their doors
HOA’s should be abolished!
American the land of the free…..welcome to your American dream…
Move out, Hall of shame are a scam.. Every buyer say NO to HOA they will go out of business.
HOA’s should be outlawed
Tim McVeigh was a hero
Oh goodness give some people a little bit of power and watch him run away with it
The HOAS really don’t know how to pick their battles do they
F### ALL HOA’S
Why would anyone live in a neighborhood with an HOA! Crazy to buy a house when you dont have freedom to live as you wish!
HOA’s are communist and should be outlawed.
2k in likes ???????
Your first mistake was moving into a his.
We definitely will move to a planned community run by a developments board but we haven’t chosen the cemetery yet.
If they don’t pay, what are they going to. Send them to jail or prison?
I don’t understand?!! How anyone can have the right to tell you what to do,with your own garden; especially when you own the property.
HOA’s are unfair!! I lived in the Kingwood area of Houston & my HOA sent me threatening letters over & over about my yard which looked fine! (I had a professional yard crew that came twice a month) But to make them happy, I spent $1600.00+ re-mulching my yard & adding more plants/flowers as requested. They were still NOT happy & sent more threats! After several frustrating years with them I decided to sell my home & move!
