Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
community association is demanding our titled and registered and insured car be
We own a 1973 cadillac hearse. It is not a commercial vehicle but rather our primary means of transportation to and from work every day. It has a title, a current inspection, current insurance and is sitting on our property in our driveway. We just moved into our house ~2 weeks ago and today received a letter from the community association saying our car is in violation of the community covenants because it ''is perceived as a commercial vehicle'' and they demand that it be removed from our property in 2 weeks because it is an eyesore.
What are our rights? Is this community association allowed to get it removed from our property?

Re: community association is demanding our titled and registered and insured car
You haven't clarified exactly why the association perceives your caddy as a commercial vehicle. Perhaps there's an array of advertizing on the sides of the vehicle? Whether or not the association has acted within the bounds of its governing by-laws would require that an appropriately qualified attorney review these by-laws and possibly other related documents in order to be able to make a reasonably reliable determination on this particular issue.
