MINT HILL, N.C. — For Rosanna Wilfong, it started a decade ago. Her front yard was flooding. A pool of rainwater swelled until it was knee-deep. So she hired a company to install a French drain — a kind of underground trench with a pipe to channel the water away from the foundation of her home.

She said she spent $6,500 to install the drainage system.  Her homeowners’ association forced her to spend another $6,500 tearing it out.

It was only the beginning of a years-long legal battle with her HOA that ate up more than $50,000 in legal bills and almost cost her her home.
