TRATON HEADLINE: Traton Homes Covenants
Worthless to Protect Homeowners
In a case that was decided by the Georgia Court of Appeals, the
attorneys for Traton Homes successfully argued that a homeowner had
no right to prevent others from damaging the right-of-way that is
adjacent to the home. Even though, as the picture below shows, the
right-of-way is a non-trivial, 13-foot-wide perimeter of the yard.
In considering the issue, Traton Corp. argued that its own covenants
could not require the homeowner to maintain that large right-of-way,
even though the right-of-way forms a part of the yard. The Court of
Appeals agreed, stating:
The covenants merely require Moses and other Lot
Lot nor any other owner's Lot includes the right
of way.
According to the Appellant in the action:
This decision affects every homeowner in a covenanted
neighborhood, and not only those in Traton Homes
developments. Traton's attorneys stated, in no uncertain
terms, that a homeowner need not maintain that 13-foot-
wide portion of the yard, and the Court surprisingly
agreed. So, any renegade homeowner can leave the right-
of-way portion of his yard in disarray, and the
homeowners' association can't do a thing about it. Even
if it detrimentally affects the value of their homes.
I am puzzled why Traton Homes would want to devalue
their property by arguing that their covenants are
worthless. I mean, this affects all of Traton Homes' new
developments as well as their established developments.
I'm curious to see how they're going to sell houses,
especially when potential buyers find out that they are
purchasing a home with a worthless covenant.
While this particular case involved a home in the Lakefield Manor
subdivision, the
Appellant
correctly points
out that other
Traton
communities
are affected,

Traton News "Traton basically depreciated the property value for all Traton
Atlanta Homes homeowners. In a down market such as now, it adds yet another
barrier for current homeowners of Traton property to sell their
Real Estate News
homes," states the Appellant. "Why a company would torpedo its own
Attorney News customers is a mystery to me."

Indeed, it is also a mystery to us.
