"Covenant Enforcement".........

Social Manipulation, Control, Harassment, and Fee Generation by HOAs and the People Who
Brought Them To Us. (Copyright 2008 Koreen Kruger)

When you consider that powerful, influential S.I.G.s (Special Interest Groups) comprised of the U.L.I. (Urban Land Institute), the N.A.R. (National Association of Realtors), the C.A.I (Community Association Institute), and the N.A.H.B. (National Association of Home Builders) brought the concept of "HomeOwnerAssociations" into concrete reality, it's not surprising that HOAs are structured to enforce social-psychological methods of persuasion and apply group conformity pressures in artificial cultural constructs. "Covenant Enforcement" sounds very biblical and religious in it's implications. I will never forget one "violation letter" to us from a Florida "LCAM" stating "Our job is covenant enforcement!" It still makes me furious. There is already enough social and religious persecution without "covenant enforcement" harassment and persecution!

HOAs are experiments in social control and manipulation of human behavior primarily to generate income and fees for their perpetrators. Their blatant self-interests are forcing the compliance of "homeowners" subjected to collusive and coercive pursuasive harassment reinforced by threats of fines, liens, foreclosures and loss of their "homes." The HOA "board members" are pawns in this high-powered political legal game! The more stupid, greedy, and controlling the "board members" are the better they like it - hence the "classes" they teach at their "institutes." No doubt the BoDs are thrown a few bones now and then at the expense of the other "homeowners." The more one studies the methods of these "professionals" the more insidious these HOA schemes are revealed to actually be!

We seriously need to stop this cancer that "runs with the land" before it really gets out of hand and there are NO "property rights" left anywhere - only CIDs, CDDs, POAs, and PUDs with HOA BoDs, PCAMs, LCAMs, CAMs, the C.A.I. lawyers and judges, U.L.I. developers, N.A.H.B, builders, and NAR Realtors! Does this Nightmare never end?

Yep. Well said! In my

In my opinion, researching this issue over the last several years, it appears that there is no hope (or very little hope) of changing the current political view of HOAs. The courts generally side with the boards unless you have overwhelming evidence of malpratice. It is really expensive to fight them in court, and there are no punitive measures in place. The restrictive documents, although many times are written with contradiction, misspelling,and vagueness, are often treated as if they are the word of God. You essentially signed your rights away when you accepted the deed.

The only thing that will change the current situation is when people are fed up enough that they refuse to buy homes in HOAs. It is already happening in my area.


Thanks Koreen, You put it

Thanks Koreen,

You put it very well. I am currently fighting with my HOA and they are running up the legal bills. They have illegally assessed the community too. Thanks for your good website and opportunity to BLOG. Lorraine in S. Florida
