Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Homeowners association
I live in a community that has a homeowner association. For the second time, I have received a letter from the association stating that I am in violation. The by law states, verbatim, Vehicles are permitted to be parked on the rear or side yard of the property. Not allowed in front yards, excluding driveways, carports and garages. The Association is saying that it means ''not at the side of the home''. Is the side of the home the side yard? Sure is. It is not stated as they are trying to read in. Secondly, the bylaw states, �no parking in front yards, except driveways etc. It does not state that parking is permitted in the front easement of the property. They told me that verbally.

The vehicle parked on the side of my driveway, in my side yard, is not obstructing the sidewalk, not posing a hazard and is not in a violation that I can see.

What do you think?

Re: Homeowners association

I think that if you want them to adopt your position, it will take a lawsuit againat the board of directors.
