For the HOA's I've lived in, there was always a rule that specified the garage has to have at least some space to park cars. In this configuration it would require 1 car's worth of space to be open. So if both spaces were filled with other belongings, they the F150 owner would be in violation.

I have no idea of what the specifics are in this case.

Do the rules specify vehicles need to be in the garage during any time period or that you need to keep your garage clutter free? I'm flabbergasted the HOAs not only dictate what you do on the outside of your home, but have started to dictate what you do on the inside as well! Man, I really stand by my previous post with regards to HOAs!

Sorry for the delay. In my case the rules specified the garages were meant for your vehicles and your vehicles "should" be parked there but didn't absolutely require it.

However if you took away the ability to park the minimum required number of car(s)/truck(s) in your garage you were in violation. In that HOA we primarily had 3 car garages and you had to keep 2 spaces available for use.

I spent some time on that Board of Directors and we typically had other issues that were higher priority for our personal involvement (so the professional management company handled the letters on minor stuff like the parking). As others have mentioned it is not a fun job since so many people are good at rationalizing why they should not have to follow the restrictions as defined.
