Sorry, No Flags Allowed

13. I don't know

I've never been in an HOA and that's why I put in the disclaimer lol.

But I am pretty sure there are situations where someone might ask you to sign something and you might sign it but they don't legally have the right to ask it of you so whatever you signed is not fully enforceable. Or that there is another law that supersedes the thing you signed so you are not obligated by the contract.

I don't think there is any question that people in power sometimes take advantage of people who have no power and who aren't fully aware of their rights. I guess the argument is valid that a person should get themselves fully informed but it should also be the case that you don't purposely mislead or take advantage of someone you know that isn't fully informed just because you can.

In general, though, I am fully with you. Don't even get me started on pro athletes that want to "renegotiate" how many millions of dollars they get for playing a game. But even then, if there is something built into the contract that allows it, more power to them. But if not, honor what you signed and renegotiate when that contract is up.
