There are such cases that have made it to this site and even to the Daily Sun. Bottom line - - do your due diligence when purchasing property and check with ARC prior to making significant changes to your property.

Due dilligence means read the deed restrictions BEFORE you decide to buy. So sure, I'll get my own copy of them at the closing. But I expect to have access to them to read them before I put in an offer. If I'm paying for restrictions, I have the legal right to know what those restrictions are before I sign the papers.
And again - I have no problem with the concept of restrictions. I don't know how many different ways, and different posts, I have to say that before it sinks in with some of you people.
