Dang, I think my HOA has it in for my tenant.  I got 4 (yes four) letters complaining about a basketball apparatus in her driveway that “detracted from the appearance of the community”.   Ok, this seems a bit extreme.  My tenant lives in a typical surburban neighborhood that has plenty of kids, surely kids playing basketball in the driveway adds to the community, not detracts from it?

So finally my property manager visits and asks her to move it, of course there are several just like it in the neighborhood.   So now I’m getting letters about her car leaking oil on the driveway.  Geez, leave the poor woman alone, her husband just left her and she is raising her kids by herself.
