Shove those antenna up the landlords ass. Ask him if he would rather
have the antenna in the air or up his ass. If he says he wants it up
his ass then break it off for him.

Gee, maybe you should save your money and buy your OWN home,
then you can do what you want with it.

This is increasingly becoming a pipe dream, as more and more neighborhoods
put together ******* CCA's or whatever they call them this week, and
dictate what color paint you can have on your home, what sort of topiary,
and countless other minutia. Covenant communities should be outlawed.
Whatever happened to a man's home being his castle (i.e. personal property
rights)?



It's called contract law. Two or more parties agree to exchange
something of value and usually there are other stipulations the parties
agree to. I would never agree to a CCA . My home is my castle.

out here in the great hinterland... more than an hour drive from any of
the great 'blue' cities. you can still find land that is wild and free,
where neighbors help you put up towers instead of putting them down, and
the big question at a zoning bylaw hearing is if the new bylaw is meant to
stop celular companies from coming into town... the question was asked
because the person didn't want the bylaw to slow them down, because they
couldn't get service now and wanted it!



I choose to live far enough out that I can pretty much do as I please . I
can fire a gun , or whatever in my front yard and no nosy neighbor is going
to call the police. Also I don't need to ask permission or get a zoning
variance to erect an antenna . I lived in town for 12 years . Never again .

Cecil is correct . The economic laws of supply and demand dictate that when
consumers wise up and refuse to give up their liberties, covenant
communities will be as obsolete as the horse and buggy.

That went away with all the other rights such as the right to use a
telephone without fear of the government listening in (without a court
order) and losing your pilot license if a neighbor gets ****ed at you for
something and calls homeland security and says you're a threat (no due
process in that case, they just automatically yank it I'm told). Very sad
to see such abuse of power. I think everyone should vote every elected
official out at the next opportunity. Let's start with a clean slate and
make the lousy reps get regular jobs like the rest of us.

Yup - as long as those consumers know what they are getting into.

In more than a few places, the buyer doesn't know a house has covenants
unless they ask exactly the right questions and insist on the answers
in writing. Many folks live in houses with very restrictive covenants
without ever realizing it, because they don't do anything that violates
the covenants.

One of the ironies of all this is that covenanted properties tend to
appreciate in value more slowly than unrestricted ones. This makes them
less expensive - and more popular with buyers.

When I bought my present house, the real estate agent
had no idea about any restrictions concerning this
property. After a lot of digging they were uncovered.

Hopefully not literally!

The real kicker in all of this is the buyer who doesn't know the right
questions to ask,
and how to evaluate the answers. A verbal statement by the agent, owner
or anybody
else is worthless when confronted by legally recorded covenants in
black-and-white.

These questions have to be asked up-front - preferably before even
looking at a
property.

Always remember that RE agents don't make any money until a sale
closes.

After a few missed rent payments your outlook will suddenly change, you
will
wonder why does that %^&$#^$ think I should support him. It's not my fault
he lost
a job, got fired, car broke down, had to take the kid to the emergency
room.
It's not my fault he didn't save any money for a rainy day!
My most fun story is the guy that replaced a mailbox, he was in the
middle
of
being kicked out. He went out and bought a $40 mailbox expecting me to
pay
for it.
I told him to keep the mailbox. When he left he took the mailbox. The post
for this
mailbox was a buried telephone pole, it wasn't going anywhere.
When I installed my new $5.00 mailbox I mounted a 2"x6" board to the
pole
with
5" x 5/16" lag bolts, then I mounted the mailbox to the 2x6 with seven 3
1/4" drywall
screws.
I would have liked to seen his face when he whacked that mailbox and it
didn't go
flying away. I hope he didn't hurt himself, NOT
He was gone about three days before he did this. I waited another week
and
put up a new mailbox.

PS. One day the toilet overflowed I had to remove about 40 kotex from the

Generally neighborhoods don't put them together. Homeowners
associations and the related CCR's found in the deed are usually
required by either city or county planning commissions as a tradeoff
for denser than normal housing in planned communities. With those
restrictions you usually get community open space and some level of
community recreation facilities, etc.

Whether they are good or bad or something in-between really depends on
what you want in your locality. Some of us enjoy the freedom to do
more-or-less what ever we want with our house. Along with that right
comes the responsibility to acccept whatever your next-door-neighbor
does with his house. About 10 miles away is a community with out a
HOA that is composed of 80 year old well maintained brick or wood
colonial houses. One guy has painted his brick home contrasting colors
of purple, pink and blue. Another puts fills up most of his yard with
at least 100 beatup plastic santas and other xmas paraphernalia. And
yet a third house has a very large oak that was chainsaw sculpted to
look like a 30 foot nude with huge breasts and 2 large branches made
into arms extended open toward the house. And these are neighborhoods
with houses that sell for $900,000 and up.

I would prefer to not have stuff like that next door and am willing to
trade off the right to paint my mailbox any color.

Covenant communities should be outlawed.

Why should they be outlawed? If you don't like them just move to a
location where there isn't a home owners association.

Whatever
happened to a man's home being his castle (i.e. personal property rights)?

What specifically are personal property rights. I have yet to find the
locality where you can do anything you want on your property.
