Being 30+ years military, the wife and I believe in rules and following them to the letter. The only concern we have is, that they are enforced hit or miss and not like they should. Now before people jump on me, remember we all got a copy of them and had to sign that we read, understood, and will follow them, so it should be no surprizes. They were written to keep value up and a problem or inconv. to neighbors to a min.

I agree you, especially about the enforcement. There seems to be less enforcement when it comes to renters. We have a rental behind us and the enforcement is not the same as it is for us permanent residents. The ones just prior to the people in there now had flags, signs, ornaments....you name it...all over the place. Occasionally, deed compliance would send someone out to talk to them. Nothing ever changed. When they moved, the yard went "you-know-where" until I found out who the private property manager was and called her because the weeds and cinch bugs were getting in my yard. Now there are some people in there with a 2-year lease with 2 dogs that yap day and night....as early as 4:30 and as late as midnight. I love dogs, but not those. I realize that dogs bark (that's what dogs do), but they bark continuously. It's not their fault...it is their masters'. They have never taught them any different and think it's too late. Poor dogs...they never walk them, just still use puppy pads on the lanai. My husband has gone over some because he feels sorry for them never getting to go out and they let him walk them. I just wish someone would buy that house and live there, not rent it out...then it would change. Deed compliance doesn't get too concerned, either. Every neighbor has complained to no avail. Some have dogs themselves and do not allow theirs to bark continually.
