    My association has a ban on golf carts and I think its totally unreasonable. Have any members here encoutnered the same? What did you do? How did you fight it? Will litigation help?

    I think a ban on golf carts is reasonable for the most part. Your HOA wants to control the types of vehicles that come through the neighborhood. Maybe golf carts are unsightly or unsafe. Maybe they cause accidents. Your HOA probably has done its research on this and is basing the rule on something substantial.

    I generally don’t recommend jumping to litigation for this type of thing. Resolving such a dispute INTERNALLY is always better than going straight to court. Lawsuits are expensive (for both parties involved) and they unnecessarily pull other owners into the mess. Plus, you won’t actually be suing “the system” or something like that. When you sue the HOA, you’re really suing yourself and your fellow homeowners. You’re the ones who have to pay in the end because the fees are coming FROM YOU.

    What do your governing documents say? Best place to look is your documents. They are your bible here.

    I agree with lolitaQ that litigation is NOT the answer. That said, if you’re having a hard time interpreting your docs, best to have someone else interpret them for you. Best of luck.

    A golf community that doesn’t allow golf carts? Sounds absurd.
