Marijuana is not covered in the proposed bill. Clove smoking and other offensive smells would be actionable as a nuisance, if all planets were alighned (meaning all things went the right way). Thanks for your comments. I agree that the E-cigarettes would not seem to be subject to the law as proposed. Marijuana is not covered in the proposed bill.

It certainly sounds from your description that there is something strange and unfair occuring, but I would be remiss if I suggested any opinion without reviewing the association documents. (This is not an invitation to send them to me unsolicited by the way.)

This homeowners has made a bogus recording on his deed showing that these two lockers belong to them which is a fraud. We have 19 storage lockers and 19 homeowners but right now 2 homeowners are without lockers. What can we do to resolve this problem?

Really? by Darrell White http://condolawguru.com/i-have-free-speech-rights-really/comment-page-1/#comment-6771 Darrell White Sat, 09 Mar 2013 04:22:09 +0000 http://condolawguru.com/?page_id=71#comment-6771 Another home owner and I applied for use of our multi purpose room to hold an open forum for HOA members to discuss whatever they wanted. The application was approved and an e-mail blast was sent out announcing the time and place. When the Board heard about this four of the five members instructed the property manager to contact us and advise us our application was being denied. We have asked for a written explanation and told we would get one but have not as of this writing. As you might imagine, there are many more details regarding this issue and we would like to know what our inital costs would be.
