Revenge on Monsters in the HOA
Dear RG,
We have some nasty neighbors that live beside us. We have lived at the same
house for over 10 years. When they moved in, 4 years ago, we told them we
had planned on getting a pool and their family would be welcome to come
swimming any time. They answered with "If we want to go to the pool we'll go
to the country club." Need I say more about the people we're dealing with?
And, the husband is a lawyer.
Right before we installed a pool, a year later, they wanted us to put it
where they wanted it. They said that if we didn't they would cause as much
trouble for us as possible. They said, "Just because we're neighbors doesn't
mean we have to be friends."
The first day that it was open, my birthday, they called the police for
noise disturbance. It was just me and my husband. How much noise could that
be? Next, they filed a lawsuit saying our light was trespassing on their
property. By trespassing I mean the light was touching their property. I
told my husband, "Just shut off the light. They will be back." They came
back. The got the homeowner's association involved. The complaint was not
that we played our music too loud but, we played it too long (I would turn
on music about 11am-5pm). We filed a lawsuit against the homeowner's
association asking them to prove that what we were doing was wrong. Long
story short, everything was dropped. My problem: The amount I had to pay my
lawyer to defend my right to enjoy my property. HOW CAN I GET BACK AT THESE
MONSTER NEIGHBORS?

Hi
Rachel,
In your position what I'd do is start inviting members of the HOA to a
weekly swim, BBQ or other type of gathering. Heal the bad feelings that may
linger while further irritating your bastard neighbors.
As well, invite your friends to have their son's/daughters birthday parties,
after school swims, whatever you can to have some good times in your
backyard during the day, ending before 10:00pm.
Your neighbor is a lawyer? He'll know how far you can go before you cross
the rules, but he'll still try to force you to do what he wants.
As well, I'd start doing some reading of the HOA bylaws. It's very likely
he's breaking some rules that he's not even aware of. Turn their home life
upside down, that's what I'd do. I'd also try to get on the board of the HOA,
make some changes complimentary to your lifestyle when possible and contrary
to what your idiot neighbors like. When you're on the HOA, maybe you can get
their particular type of car banned because of size, height, even green
house gasses!
Let the noise start!!
And, I'd post a copy of the dismissed suit against you on your front window.
Keep memories alive.
