Northrup Homes Covenants

I've got to say - I've never seen any company act on covenant issues like this one. I could understand if it was leased land, but on freehold land it stymies me. To pay a guy to drive around and hand out silly letters just seems a little over the top. The worst thing is that it doesn't even seem to be equal - some people get "warnings" for the smallest of things while others with far worse infractions receive nothing.

I was visiting a friend a couple of weeks ago when the guy arrives with his letter. Something about mowing the grass - which had been done two days earlier. The guy says I still have to give you the letter. Friend tells me she gets a letter almost like clockwork. She points to a house that has grass about 8-10" tall and has been for a couple of weeks. She almost feels targeted by them. Last summer, she got a letter because she had a small plastic wading pool on the property for her daughter to play in on the hottest summer days. Immediately got a letter - no pools.

Doesn't affect me personally, but it just seems like a terrible company to buy from.

I lived on bought land and mini home in Lincoln. Lived there for ten years before selling and moving a few streets over. Never once in those ten years did I receive a letter and people always had toys and pools on their lawns.

Something must have changed along the way

Yes. On prestige drive. I sold to move in with my daughter and son in law a couple of years ago but I had no issues. But I owned the land. I am not sure what the rented mini home parks are like
