00:00When I first bought my quiet little cabin by the lake, I was looking for peace and freedom,
00:05not drama. The place had belonged to an old fisherman, and I loved the fact that it sat
00:11just far enough from the noisy city. What I didn't know was that the lake community had its own queen
00:17bee, a woman named Karen, who proudly ran the so-called HOA like it was her personal empire.
00:23Within two days of moving in, she marched up my driveway, clipboard in hand, barking rules.
00:29You'll need to submit a request before painting your porch, keep your grass trimmed exactly two
00:34inches, and of course pay the HOA fee. I raised an eyebrow. Ma'am, I never signed anything.
00:41My deed makes no mention of an HOA. Karen smirked. Everyone here joins. It's mandatory.
00:49I shrugged. Then I'll be the first not to. Her face turned red. She stormed off,
00:55muttering about, people who think they're above the rules. I thought that was the end of it.
00:59But the next weekend, while I was grilling by the water, flashing blue lights, pulled up.
01:05Two officers approached. Sir, we gotta report your trespassing and refusing to comply with HOA
01:11regulations. I laughed. Trespassing? I own this property. Wanna see the deed?
01:17Karen came running, arms flailing. Arrest him. He's refusing to pay dues and ruining our community.
01:25The officers glanced between us. I calmly pulled out my folder. Gentlemen, not only do I own this
01:32house, I also own the land beneath this entire development. Every one of these homes is leased
01:39for me. Their eyes widened. Karen froze like a statue. You what? She stammered. I pointed to the
01:46documents. I'm your landlord. Which means if you want to keep living here, I suggest you stop
01:51harassing me or anyone else with fake HOA rules. The cops smirked, handed back my papers, and left
01:58Karen sputtering. From that day forward, she avoided me completely, suddenly very quiet at her HOA
02:05meetings. As for me, I finally got the peace I wanted by the lake, knowing that the loudest voice
02:11in the neighborhood had been silenced with the truth.
02:16to the people that I wanted to help with the living room, I tried to help me, and I
02:21can, therefore, refer to my house to the rescue of the living room.
02:23He and the 911 team are acting as good as the opposite of the road.
02:27To be careful of what it may be, it was a problem behind me because I thought you had
02:28been a lot of the work. I would say, I don't wanna be able to go with and make a
02:30lesson or tell me if I want to find a delay in my home. But it's a silly
02:31lesson. But it's a bit late for me that I'm going to teach you a little bit.
02:34To be careful of what I want to share a lot of what I want to make, I think to
02:36like to try in a moment like this. I'm your mother, how I want to treat it again.
02:38And now we are reading as well. What are you going to do with that?
