Community Bylaws State No Carrying of Weapons?

[The Drew]

There may be caselaw on this, Does a landlord have the ability to prohibit a tennant from legally carrying on their property? If a landlord doesn't have this power I cannot see how a HOA does.

That is absolutely not true of most private communities in the Pocono`s although it may at times feel that way. There are laws that regulate how HOA`s operate and it really depends on how the original by-laws were set up. In most cases the HOA cannot just change by-laws without a vote of all members (homeowners) in good standing. Just like anything that has to do with buying a house you must do your homework. Some private communities are great and others just keep the criminals fenced in.

well, this is a problem that some people have with both the Lackawanna County Housing Authority, and the Scranton Housing Authority. despite their names, both are privately owned. both organizations have 'no guns' clauses in their leases, or had them. SHA recently amended theirs, due to the threat of litigation by certain residents, to now requiring they be "registered" with the SHA, and kept in the home, DC-style. LCHA, from what i understand, forbids anyone, residents or visitors, from carrying a handgun on the property. visitors will be asked to leave, and residents evicted. i have a friend who lives in LCH in Throop, and he's constantly worried about getting caught CCing to and from his car.

as far as i know, a landlord can evict anyone for any reason, at anytime, much like any business can eject a customer, or fire an employee. it might not be fair, but that's life.

Landlord-Tenant relationships are governed by laws that are much different than HOA (which are usually established via contract or deed covenant from what I know.)

No. No. No. No. This is absolutely not true. If you are renting, residence or commercial space, from a landlord you generally must breach your lease (like not paying your rent) in order to be evicted.

If you are simply a guest in someone's house though, you can be asked to leave at any time.
