Default Re: What Are the restrictive covenants in general?

Please read the fine print in the neighborhood "covenants". For the first time in his life my husband read the fine print (Thank God). We were looking at a home on a large pond. The lot was elevated so the slopes were a bit steep. We loved it but........the covenants stated that the property owner was responsible for maintaining the landscaping from their property line to the waters edge. Right now "The Villages" are doing it but when "the family" leaves will that continue or will the new "managers" make folks live up the the "rules". That was a huge question mark. Nope we didn't buy the house.
