Pain Check
Sound like your case?
- ▸Your fence was approved when you bought the home — now suddenly it 'violates' the CC&Rs
- ▸The HOA changed enforcement criteria without amending the governing documents
- ▸Vague terms like 'compatible with the neighborhood' are being applied subjectively
- ▸Identical fences on neighboring properties aren't being fined
- ▸You never got the 14-day written notice Minnesota law typically requires
