[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are HOAs that prohibit rentals? [/quote]

Yes, mine does.  The idea is that it is a supposed to be a community of people who actually live there, not greedy developers who are just out to make money and ultimately neglect the property. The rentals are by far the saddest looking houses in the neighborhood - scraggly landscaping, toys left out, etc etc.  I'm sorry, but the hillbillies can go rent somewhere else where that crap is commonplace.  I bought into what was supposed to be a "nice" neighborhood for a reason.  I basically told them to keep up the neighborhood pool, playground and communal landscaping and stop poking your pathetic noses around my house to see where I keep my garbage cans.  I can't stand these petty little people who let some small-time role on an HOA board go to their heads.[/quote]

Shorter PP: I don't think that the HOA has a right to tell me what to do with my property, but it does have a right to tell other people what to do with their property.[/quote]

This is what I saw. The hillbillies leave toys out but I should be able to leave my garbage cans out.[/quote]

Oh yes. Because my garbage cans, left on a concrete pad discreetly placed right next to my garage is such an eyesore, vs. tons of plastic toys left strewn all over the lawn.   :roll:

Sorry but yes - the redneck hillbillies can go hang out where no one cares about that kind of crap.  [/quote]

If the hillbillies can afford the rent in your neighborhood, it's probably not as upscale as you think it is.[/quote]

I never said it was upscale.  I said it was nice.  These property management companies/developers are buying foreclosures at a cheap price and then renting them cheap.  Just because a neighborhood is full of homes priced for the middle class does not mean that people don't care about their homes.  Most all of us do  - except the renters, who feel like they've hit the jackpot in being able to afford the place and don't get that they're not in the holler anymore. But I don't see the HOA getting all up in their face about putting their 4,000 second-hand plastic big wheels and other crap back in their garages at night.  They're far too focused on my trash cans to even notice, apparently.[/quote]

Is this deep in the exurbs of VA?[/quote]
