I'm really sorry to hear of this. If you can't move, perhaps you could try to take over the association?

Please don't sell it unless you have to. I do understand it's a difficult situation, but if it's at all possible to keep it I think you'll be glad you did down the road. Regardless, I hope it works out well for you. Sorry to hear about this, for sure.

Well, things have gone from bad to worse. I got an official notice from the condo assn. board and they informed me that not only can I not do any mechanical work on my car outside, I can't do it in my garage either or anywhere else on condo property for that matter. That's kind of a big slap in the face for me, considering I've been working on my cars and motorcycles in my garage (often with the door open) for the past few years without a problem. Sometimes a neighbor would stop by and admire my work too. Also, I have until the 15th of September to comply with either registering the GLHS or removing it from the property, or else they can have it towed away at my expense, even though it's in my garage. I'm going to do as suggested and get an antique/historical plate for it with minimal insurance (RI is a mandatory insurance state), so that will keep the board off of my back for the time being. Unfortunately, I can't do any more work on the GLHS. I just can't risk it. So, the car has to go. Sorry guys.
And it looks like I'm going to go too. I don't see how I can stay here now that I have a garage and workshop that I can't use, so it's time for me to move on and find a better place to live.
If you own the condo, I'd LOVE to see them remove it from your garage. That's ridiculous. Yeah, I'd move, but I wouldn't rush to the 15th. If you own that property, they cannot in any way enter your place and just take something without your authorization. That's theft, the last time I checked.

Oh I'm not going to move out by the 15th. Just sometime within the next few months, I hope. The sooner the better. And I agree, I would love to see them break into my garage and take the car. Honestly, I think it's just a scare tactic.
You may be able to hold of on getting rid of the GLHS, and take it with you when you move. I would look into finding a place before getting rid of it. May find a place that will allow you to have it, your motorcycles and work on everything.
You have to be careful, Strata's can be very powerful and enforce the rules they made, again, aholes.

Not sure what a Strata is, but removing something from someone's property while it's INSIDE is called breaking and entering in the US. They are in NO WAY going to do that if she owns that condo. If she is renting, that's another story, but even that is pushing it. It's in a garage, not on the street or off her property. The best they'll be able to do is slap a fine on her and then she'd have to deal with that when the place sold, possibly.

Strata's are the people that run condo's, so yes, they CAN remove your property. Usually when you buy or rent a condo, you sign paperwork from the Strata saying what you can and can't do, if you break the rules, they can fine you and then remove your properly and take whatever action, they can even take you to court. Its amazing but they have alot of power.

Condos, the one place of residence where you can combine all the advantages of having an obnoxious landlord, with all the advantages of owing money for upkeep and repairs.

You need to read up on home owner's associations. The horror stories I've read about on ARFCOM could fill a book. The last one I read about involved several hundred dollars in fines for not having the proper curtains in the garage windows.
Old people have nothing better to do than to make others conform to the ---'n rules. Their fathers would take them behind the woodshed if they could see the suppression of freedom they promote.
I told Joy that we would never live in a newfangled subdivision and a HSA would happen over my dead body before we moved down here.
Well fines I could see, seriously. That is something that they can work against the owner/renter that will make it VERY difficult to sell the property, if not impossible unless the fines are met. But OPENING someone's garage and taking property? That's not gonna happen AT ALL if she owns it, period. That is theft and that isn't going to happen. Again, if she is renting, that is a whole other story. And yes, I would fight that to my last dime if it ever came to me. But I live on 5 acres and I have about 300 feet before someone can get to my front door. I have a gun and I'm not too bad of a shot. I'll throw a couple of warnings in the air for good measure.

The problem is, depending on the lease and association and contracts, you give up your right to your property if they feel that you are doing something to breach the contract.Well fines I could see, seriously.

Exactly. Some of the HOAs are so sweeping it's amazing that anyone would want to sign it.
I'm not too far from you. I could come and check the car out and/or give you a hand with it if you needed. I'll send you an email with my info.
Hey guys, Sunshine really has to go and I didn't sell it this summer. I will let it go for $1000 as it sits right now. The motor is out, half the dash is apart and the HVAC ducting is removed so I could get the wiring harness out (obviously, the wiring harness is out of the car too, and cleaned). You know how to get in touch with me! Thanks.
Good luck with sale.
Wish I had a dolly...
and something to pull it ...
and an empty garage ...
and $1000 ...
and a pony.
