HOA's etc have a committee with an elected President. You can be in possession of a CCR's that states you CAN park an RV on your property only to have elections be held the following year and a new president elected and he or she can CHANGE the HOA, CCR. rules and if enough residents agree and pass the new rules AND they can omit any grandfathered in clause's.......

It does not matter who the president is or wants. at any annual meeting the members can vote on any issue and change the covenants. I indicated that unless grandfathering was done they would no doubt face some lawsuits. our development has grandfathered RV parking, fence types, etc. Our directors,etc., wanted to hire a HOA specialist lawyer and there were at least three lawyers in VA that specialized in HOA issues. with that many lawyers being supported only by HOA payments, it is evident that a lot of stupid unnecessary requirements have been proposed. and sometimes the members pass silly proposals. our HOA has an architecture review committee who examine all proposals. it was originally established that the committee had x days to rule on a proposal and if no rule in that time period the proposal passed. it was changed to giving them a pocket veto, just don't act on it and it passed, based on a recommendation of our lawyer. it can always be passed up to the board for resolution. and that lawyer recommended what was in the best interest of the commmittee/ board members, not what was in the best interest of the residents.
I would avoid purchase where there is a HOA.
