SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT
JEOPARDIZES ASSOCIATIONS’
ABILITY TO APPLY ‘THE RULES’
Choosing to live in a neighborhood governed by a condominium or homeowners
association means residents live within “the rules”, which can govern everything
from pets and plantings to paint colors and porch enclosures. Whether you love the
rules or hate them, legal issues can arise for both residents and boards of directors
when those rules are ignored or enforced inconsistently.
