Here where I am a couple of years ago the management tried to tell us we needed their permission before painting our homes and needed them to pick the colors. Fat chance, there is no HOA in here and we just ignored them and eventually they stopped trying to control things/people. I hate HOA's for the most part it is just a few feeling the power to control so many and to think that people pay them to do it...very strange!!!
