Shed issues

[ntrddragn]

Not sure which subforum this belongs in but I have a question. I built a shed that was finally approved by the HOA which in turn pissed off my neighbor. Now he is stating that the HOA inform him that I must take my shed with me when I sell my home. But the Hoa never told me this at the meeting where they approve it. Nor did they said anything when we told them in an email that we need the shed to be approve because we are selling our home. I live in San Diego County California. Does the Hoa have the rights to make me take my shed? There isn't anything in the by law ccr that said that. TIA.

Unless the shed approval is conditional in some way or expressly limited to the current owner , I'm of view the neighbor is full of hot air.....however your mention of email requesting approval raises ambiguity about the nature of approval.

IF I needed something I sure would not trust it to a mere email , I'd want to be right in the process per whatever steps are appropriate...lest my neighbor get a change to dump ice water on my request.

BTW is your shed approved or not ? Is it attached to the land or merely sitting on stone or timbers and readily moved as personal property?

The email is from us requesting a speedy approval due to the sale of house but was told to wait for the actual meeting. The shed was approved by the HOA board at the meeting. There were no mentioned of any condition in regards to it being just temporary. The shed is not bolted to the ground. In my for sale listing I did mentioned the home with the shed.

Just a guess, the approval runs with the land ...but details matter.

Sorry can you explain what you mean by approval runs with the land?

 

[HRZ]

That the approval or grant vests with the land itself and is not extinguished when ownership changes .

Thanks for the explanation.
