CC&R violation having Bounce house for party

[momoko888]

suprised to see notice of hearing letter from HOA about we had bounce house at landscape area behind the Club house for a Sat event. Community have parties every weekend but never aware this is an issue that we need Board prior approval. What wording should I use in the hearing to best describe that I did not aware this is an issue as everyone have bounce house for parties thru out the year?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Do you mean; what should I write to let them know I was ignorant of the rules and somehow that should mean they cannot enforce them?

Nothing.

Your only argument I can see is that if others are allowed (not just that they have them but actually allowed to have bounce houses), there is a precedent set by allowing others to violate the CC&Rs.

Trying to argue that you should be allowed to have the bounce house because others have had bounce houses (against the rules) and gotten away with it is not a valid defense. You may simply be the straw that broke the camel's back and they must make an example to prevent further disregard of the rules.

That would be a touchy situation to do that and not have it seen as selective enforcement that can be shown to show a prejudice against you for whatever reason.

There may also be a liability issue they require paperwork or insurance for, prior to use.
