hoa rules you needed to read before moving in,

Before buying, I rented this house from a property management company who contracted a landscaper.

They tried to raise my rent every year, and I was able to appeal and get it frozen or raised by a smaller amount. Eventually they refused to freeze the rent and notified me they were going to sell the house out from under me Rather than endure the assuredly fatal stress of packing, finding a different place, and moving, IN A HURRY, I bought the place. HOWEVER I am getting cash offers above the value if I want to leave. So, please understand I did not have a choice, though I am definitely not Cornholed.

But that's not the point at all, is it?

HOAs are Not Acceptable, and need to go away.
