'I absolutely know I’m in the legal right': Woman closes gate to lake access on her private property, entitled neighbors impersonate fake HOA to intimidate

When you purchase a property, do you intend to follow all the unwritten rules that other neighbors feel “grandfathered” into? What if those rules get your car dinged up or your dog loose?

There are ups and downs to having a neighbor, especially one you share a fence with. Some ups are that they could be really cool and become your friend. Or they are just thoughtful and help maintain the shared area. Plus, it's just nice to know there is a person near by in case of emergencies. The downs are now you have to get along with a stranger. So what if you two don't click ? What if they turn out to be en entitled Karen? Or worse, what if they disrespect your land and those residing on i…

‘Is this even legal?'… ‘Yep': Tenant's HOA fees jump from $700 to an outrages $1,600 per month, so do you blame insurance companies or the HOA?

The housing market is insane right now, that's pretty common knowledge at this point. But have you dived into the property insurance crisis?

Sometimes there are situations that make you stop and think, “what would you do?” There are countless Reddit threads that make you ponder just this. Recently, we came across one about a fake HOA.
