laws on houses, grandfather law

I’m just wondering if the house that I’m living in falls under the grandfather law. but there is another house on the property i share gas and electric with. this seems illegal and somewhat looks like my landlord is hiding this house and she says that the house don’t belong here because it was not built before the grandfather law passed.

We purchased a condo in the Alpharetta, GA area five years ago. We purchased this property, because we were told at closing that we wouldn’t have any conflict with the HOA in renting the unit. We were required to have approval for our rental signage and several other things. We did not purchase another condo because it would be difficult to keep as rental property. Three years into ownership, we have a new HOA Board and Management Company. The Board doesn’t want to allow owners to rent their property. Do we have any legal right to maintain the old rules of the Association? We purchased the condo prior to this Board or new Management Company taking over control. We are truly being harassed.

Thanks so much for any assistance you can provide.

My parents built their home in 1971 and has lived there ever since. The city they live in Riverbank, California has rezoned the block they live on several times throughout the years. Now they are having a problem with a business that has moved in next door. They asked the city to have the business put up a firewall between the two properties. The city told my parents that the block has been rezoned and that they don’t see my parents residence as a residence because it has been rezoned light industrial. So even though in the city codes it states that there has to be a firewall between a residence and a business, it doesn’t apply to my parents property because the city rezoned it. My parents home has become a nightmare because the city is allowing businesses come in and make their residence unsafe. If I could bring a lawsuit against the city I would do it in a heartbeat. My question is what direction do I need to go in to fight the city over this. Is there any California Law that I can research about grandfather clause and rezoning. If they city didn’t add a grandfather clause in when they rezoned the property is there a California law that covers this. My parents rights as property owners have been taken away if their home is not seen as a home.
