There has to be a limit to their power, and I imagine it lies in the land of physical and/or material damages.
They can't mandate that you leave your daughter's curtains open at night, or that you must leave your front door unlocked when no one is home (which is virtually the same thing as in the OP).
HOA loses this one, but it'll take a lawyer so really everyone loses this one.
Except the lawyer, I suppose.
Valid point. Can HOA state the front door has to be unlocked all day as well? I lived in under an HOA for 5 years which was 5 years too long. Now I own a non HOA home and put a clothesline in my backyard. I would find out who on the association voted for this and if they live in that place i would fill their garage with garbage, like chicken scraps that smell and rotten eggs, that would get this changed without a lawyer.
