We aren't planning on moving any time soon, but eventually we may have to. College towns really stink when it comes to wages and opportunities. I know most rented apartments and mobile home parks have breed restrictions, but what about owned apartments and town homes? Can HOA's have breed restrictions even if you own a residence or does owning it mean they can't do that?

HOA can have breed restrictions even if you own the property,which is why I would never buy a home that has an HOA. It's best to look around though because all HOA's that has breed restrictions.

Yep, one of my "non-negotiables" when house hunting was *no HOAs*!

Home repair is so expensive when having to hire someone and my husband doesn't know how to work on houses at all. For that reason, I was considering buying an apartment or town house with an association that handles repairs. I thought maybe we wouldn't have to worry about breed restrictions if we bought an apartment or town home instead of renting, but I guess not. Years ago, I was forced to get rid of a watchdog I loved because of mobile home park rules. The home was purchased on a weekend when the office was closed. When I saw that someone in the park had a white GSD, I wrongly assumed my dog would be allowed (rules had just changed, white GSD owner was protected by grandfather clause). A few months later, I was robbed. God I hate breed restrictions.

I am looking for something that doesn't have an association. Way to many rules for a home that was purchased. In my mind, if I buy a home I will have whatever breed of dog I want, a 6 foot fence, and a swimming pool.

The thing about an HOA is you can read the restrictive covenants before you buy. I don't have an issue with HOA's, only with differential enforcement of the regulations - if you don't like the HOA covenants you can look elsewhere. I know ours has no breed restrictions.
