Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Homeowners Association

I work for City and State agencies. All my neighbors are fine with it. However, the management company for the homeowners association says I can not park my tow truck in the driveway. Eventhough it is considered an emergency vehicle and the City says I have a right to have it at my residence. It is only in the driveway at night approximately 8 hours a day. They want to sue me and have told me there is no other alternative for us except to get a lawyer.

Re: Homeowners Association

If you're in violation of the homeowners' association rules, then you must come into compliance. Otherwise, you may be subject to fines, costs, and attorneys' fees for having the vehicle removed. The homeowners' association may also foreclose on your house to have these fees paid.

You should ask the city why they think you have a right to have the truck at your residence. If a city ordinance exists allowing you to keep the truck at your residence, then the ordinance may override the homeowners' association rule.
