A VETERAN was instructed to remove a decorative addition to his front door by his HOA in what he called a ridiculous dispute.

Milan Thakkar from Arroyo Canyon, Las Vegas, was threatened with a $100 fine over two wreaths on his front doors.

The homeowner explained to KTNV that his wife chose the two decorations to spruce up the outside of the house.

However, Level Property Management claimed that the wreaths violated the code of conduct that states homeowners must remove holiday decorations within 30 days of the holiday.

Thakkar argued that the wreaths are not Christmas decorations and called the warning from the HOA “petty.”

After going into combat and fighting stage four cancer, Thakkar called the complaint an additional unnecessary hassle.

“You know, you come home from combat and you’re just happy to be with your family and then you got to fight little battles like this – it’s a nuisance,” he said.

“It’s petty. I can take this off in two seconds but it’s the principle of it.”

He noted that his wife is Persian-Armenian from Iran and that he is Indian.

“She probably has a different taste than other people in the neighborhood, but these are not Christmas wreaths,” he said.

In response to the fine, Thakkar sent a strongly-worded letter to the HOA which he had issues with since it changed hands to Level Property Management.

The letter was not received well by the HOA’s offices with the President of the company telling the news outlet that he “used foul and vulgar language” and that they were aware of his situation.

They added that the fine was simply a result of the HOA following its own rules and enforcement which it does on all of its members.

Also that day, Thakkar’s neighbor Bobby James was issued a $100 fine for some weeds that had not been cleaned up.

James slammed the HOA for “sitting on their butts and complaining” adding that he had pneumonia the week that they sent the letter which included a photograph of the small weeds.

Speaking to the news outlet about the language in his letter, Thakkar said: “I used a little bit of language that was a little bit intense because we’re not seeing eye to eye.”

The HOA scheduled a hearing where Thakkar could argue his point on April 18, 2017, though no update has been found.

According to KTNV, the disgruntled veteran threatened legal action against the HOA and even offered to take over the management of it with his neighbor’s consent.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Thakkar and the HOA for comment.

Thakkar argued that while he can remove the wreaths in seconds, he is ready to fight the HOA on principle
