East Linden Estates Spring Hill FL...regressing (rental, HOA)

[onOrianna]

East Linden Estates Spring Hill FL was once very desirable as an HOA place to live. Now with the current person in charge of enforcing the rules to maintain this status, it is regressing quickly. This is certainly evident by the recent quote stated by the ACC Chair whose job is to enforce the rules.

He states: “I am also aware that many out there think that all I do is ride around looking for infractions. I assure you that nothing could be further from the truth.” WOW, no need to voice this as it is clearly evident to all.

This person loves to threaten homeowners with their “duty to maintain.” What about his duty?

There is never a public record of how many, where, what type of violations are being enforced if any at all.

Potential buyers of our home have expressed concern as they want a home in a strong HOA and will not buy our house due to this lax enforcement.

Here are the ACC rules as stated by our charter and the addresses of obvious violations.

It's a lust for power pure and simple.
Guy probably got his butt kicked a lot growing up and now is his chance to bully people.
There's a lot to be said about living somewhere off the grid and away from civilization but I haven't the time to say it.

There's a few existing threads involving complaints about that neighborhood:

Seems like the theme is pretty common.
