Pain Check

This sound right?

  • Your decorations stayed up a week 'too long' and you got a fine
  • The CC&Rs don't actually specify a removal deadline
  • Religious or cultural displays are being treated unfairly
  • Other homes have similar displays without consequence
  • No 10-day cure period was given before the fine
