65. But HOAS can restrict what kind of vehicles you use

Wed Aug 15, 2018, 04:09 PM

Aug 2018

Lots of HOAs prohibit commercial vehicles, vehicles over a certain size, etc. And you agree to abide by that when you buy a property where the deed says you must follow the HOA rules.

The kid isn’t being blocked in. The HOA said it’s the size of the bus that’s an issue. The school could send a smaller vehicle to pick him up without issue based on what the story says.

I am reasonably certain the ADA does not apply Major Nikon Aug 2018 #52

But HOAS can restrict what kind of vehicles you use Lee-Lee Aug 2018 #65

In that case the school probably has to use a smaller bus marylandblue Aug 2018 #68

Doesn't matter how legitimate the HOAs reasons are Lee-Lee Aug 2018 #69
