I'm going to link this in multiple forums cause I need all the advice I can get on this.
My neighborhood is about to take over the Homeowners Association from the builder who built the neighborhood, and one of the old biddies came by and was kind of giving my hearse the stink eye. I know the covenants pretty well, and when we first moved in I made sure I was clear on what was acceptable in the event that Morticia needed to sit outside. As far as 'vehicles' go, I'm totally ok:
6.06 Vehicles. The term “vehicles” as used herein shall include, without limitation, motorcycles, minibikes, scooters, go-carts, trucks, vans, and automobiles. All vehicles shall be parked within garages, driveways or other paved parking areas located on a Lot. Parking in yards or on streets within the Development is prohibited. Lot Owners / visitors may temporarily park on the street. No inoperable, junk or abandoned cars shall be allowed on the property.
So that part is good, the part I'm worried about is this vague shit:
6.22 Nuisance. It shall be the responsibility of each Owner and occupant to prevent the development of any unclean, unhealthy, unsightly, or unkempt condition on his or her property. No property within the Development shall be used, in whole or in part, for the storage of any property or thing that will cause such Lot to appear to be in an unclean or untidy condition or that will be obnoxious to the eye; nor shall any substance, thing, or material be kept that will emit foul or obnoxious odors or that will cause any noise or other condition that will or might disturb the peace, quiet, safety, comfort, or serenity of the occupants of surrounding property. No noxious or offensive activity shall be carried on within the Development, nor shall anything be done tending to cause embarrassment, discomfort, annoyance, or nuisance to any Person using any property within the Community. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no speaker, horn, whistle, siren, bell, amplifier or other sound device shall be used except those devises used exclusively for security purposes or required by law.
This is one of those 'subjective' type rules that is usually done by mob rule first and foremost. It hasn't been an issue yet, but I want to be well armed with knowledge before I go in there.
