ack and I had recently moved into a rental home in a peaceful neighborhood for a short-term work assignment. On our first full day, a woman named Lindsey from across the street came over with a tray of cookies. Although she seemed polite, her friendliness felt forced.
After a bit of small talk, Lindsey brought up a supposed HOA rule that only one car was allowed in the driveway per household. We explained we were temporary tenants, that both cars fit without blocking anything, and that we hadn’t seen any such rule in our paperwork. Despite our explanation, she insisted the rule applied to everyone.
