Many HOA bylaws include provisions for mediation. This could be a way to address the issues in a structured setting with a neutral party.

55-and-over communities are the exception to fair housing laws. BUT since your aunt meets the age requirement, I think you should be able to live there. In my experience, 55-and-over communities require at least one household member to be over the aged of 55.

There may be a reason behind the denial. Did the board indicate any reason?

If your HOA owns the parking space, then it certainly can put the no parking sign there.

If your neighbor isn’t violating any HOA rules, the HOA board likely has no authority to step in or penalize your neighbor. Boards can only act within the extent of their authority as per the CC&Rs. If your neighbor is harassing you, the best thing to do is to report them to local police.

@rigby88 Did you not know there was an HOA when you bought the house?

I know someone who left their HOA without needing to move. Membership wasn’t mandatory in the first place, so all they had to do was sign something and that was it. But they couldn’t use any of the HOA’s stuff anymore like the pool or anything like that.

“The mailbox is rather old and is due for replacement”

It definitely sounds like you’re saying the cluster mailbox has reached the end of its life cycle in which case the HOA should be responsible for replacing it. This should all be found within your HOA’s reserve study and money should have been set aside in your reserve funds to pay for the cost of replacement. The board is responsible for this task and they are not doing their job right if you don’t have reserves.
