How to get rid of an home owners association (HOA)

prorevenge:

A good friend of mine has about 4 years ago inherited the house of his grandparents. He decided to live there for the time being till he has decided what to do with the house. He grew up in it, so he did not really want to sell it.

Not even a week after he moved in, he got a visit from a neighborhood committee. They said they are the 3 board members of the HOA , and are here so he can sign his membership papers. They where extremely nosy and rude, for example one tried to get into the garage without so much as asking. When he stopped him and asked him where he wanted to go, he had the audacity to say:“I need to check your garage, if everything there is in order. I have a right to do this byweekly, and denying me access is a an offense that will cost a fine.”

He then had enough of their audacity and kicked them out of the house. Whole doing so, one of the board members shoved some papers into his face and told him he needed to sign this right now. He would live there a week already, and this papers had to be signed BEFORE moving in. Once they where gone, he took a look at the papers. They where fucking ridiculous, and gave the HOA rights that where simply unfucking real. They had for example a right to visit your home byweekly, and check things like that you do not use the garage for storage, don’t have gasoline on containers in your garage, same goes for gas. You had to mow your lawn every week, snow had to be shoveled every 2 hours hen it snowed (starting at 5 o’clock in the morning). You could not park more then one car on your grounds (except inside the garage), and a ton of other bullshit.
