A homeowners association has recently decided to disallow a relative from running a day care in her house based on the premise of aesthetic integrity of the community is maintained. The day care has been running for 7 years already and is the family's sole source of income. PMG Houston Houston, Texas

What options do they have?
Can they force them to stop if they knowingly allowed the business to operate?
If they are able to prove the business does not affect the aesthetic integrity, will it help them fight the cease and desist order? (i.e. toys in the yard, general appearance of the house relative to others, effects on the neighborhood, opinions of neighbors)

The HOA itself cannot force anything. They would have to take your relatives to court and win.

You may want to help them use this sites links to speak to a attorney and see if there is a law in your state that could be used to block the hoa from acting ONLY because they allowed the day care for so many years already that they may not be able to act now (only because no action was taken to stop it sooner)
