How do you feel about rules? While some people are born breaking or bending rules, other people value and respect them. Whichever type you are, you may currently be under the influence of a rule-making organization. A homeowners’ association, or HOA, is an organization that ensures certain standards in a building, community, or neighborhood. As a homeowner who is a member of this type of organization, you’ve likely agreed to be subject to their rules, or bylaws.
This can be either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your point of view and the quality and methods of the HOA that has jurisdiction over your property. These organizations are there for a reason, and can make things difficult for you, or they can make living in your neighborhood a much more pleasant experience. As a homeowner, you have a responsibility to be familiar with the organization’s operation and bylaws.
