Shady mechanics

except kick you out.

Yea, but then you could sue them for breach of contract, not sure what damages you could argue for besides that months rent and security deposit...maybe get them to pay legal fees and first months rent and security deposit at new place...maybe make them pay for the difference in gas for the duration of the lease to your job.

They can only break the contract (kick you out) if you are in breach. I am sure there could be extenuating circumstances - but - the onus is on Them to prove it. My understanding is, a contract is a contract and that's the end of it.

If they really want you out so bad, they can also pay all costs for you to move - cleaning, pest, professional removalists, etc.

But you will need to read all the fine print.

The thing with a HOA - I think in Aust we call it Body Corpporate - is that you go in knowing full well what the rules are. So you voluntarily chose to abide by those rules to begin with.

My my how we have drifted from shady mechanics. Next thing you know we'll be talking about oil

Correct and ignorance of the HOA or Body Corporate regulations is not an excuse for breaking them, but ignorance of them is a reason for your contract to be cancelled, in fact its probably in your contract that you need to be aware of the regulations.  As Michael said, read the fine print, you'd be surprised some of the tings you agree to without knowing it.  Too may people just sign and assume its all good.
