Can your HOA tell you what to do inside your home?

Did a homeowner’s association (HOA) stick their nose in your business? Or are they, perhaps, trying to gain access to your home?

HOAs have several rights to impose authority and fines in the neighborhood. Residents who band together and decide to establish their own HOA and impose restrictive covenants. This includes dictating the external aesthetics of your property, restricting access to communal property, and limiting who and how many people can live in a home—granted that it is done without discrimination.
