Who hates HOA's?

[Mayhem]

I know I do. We had a roof leak, and I dealt with the insurance and got them to cover it. Long story short, we submitted for approval of the new roof on March 31 and had the roof replaced April 4. We just now, today got the approval email that it is ok to replace the roof. Seriously almost a month and 1/2 since we asked for approval. What am I paying these people for? Why did I even bother to ask? I think I will just do whatever I want to my home from now on, since the HOA doesn't feel they need to give an approval or denial in a timely manner.

You have to ask a HOA if you can fix your roof???????? Glad I'm rural!

I know my HOA are idiots. Never there to help a home owner. Only there to take money and spend it at there discretion

HOAs suck. I pay mine very little mind

My question is why would you buy a house where you have to ask permission to do anything to it?

[Burnadell]

Why not run for office and change things? It does no good to gripe about it on TBH.

When we lived in Highlands North in Dallas , our HOA was active. We knew the officers, and my wife was involved in it. We had newcomer parties to welcome the new folks each year.

Get involved and be proactive.

I hate em enough to never buy a house in a neighborhood, much less one that has a HOA. I dont like people telling me what to do on my own place.

Mine will not let me park my boat in my driveway so no, I don't get along with them.

Our neighborhood is managed by a company here in the Houston area called Real management or something of that nature. We have a board, but it not like anyone cares or anything is actually done for breaking the rules. We were told our dues go up just about every year because only have of the property owner actually pay, so the ones that pay have to make up the difference, cause the HOA will not for people to pay like it says they should in the rules.

I've dealt with several at work, I would rather live in an apartment than a house within an HOA.
