Part 3/9:
Just days later, Mike received a certified letter from the Sunnyside Estates HOA, detailing his violation of community rules. Ostensibly, he had failed to obtain proper approval for his pool installation. The letter ordered him to either remove the allegedly non-compliant pool within 30 days or open it up for community use, under the authority of the HOA. This communication left Mike bewildered—having never signed any HOA agreement and being entirely outside both the jurisdiction and boundaries of the alleged association.
