What is this HOA of which you speak?
Other people telling you how to live your life.
Oh, you mean like a legislature?
TN Declaration of rights:
Section 8. That no man shall be taken or imprisoned, or disseized of his freehold, liberties or privileges, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any manner destroyed or deprived of his life, liberty or property, but by the judgment of his peers, or the law of the land.
Section 21. That no man’s particular services shall be demanded, or property taken, or applied to public use, without the consent of his representatives, or without just compensation being made therefore.
Your peers include the HOA if you choose to go there...be careful who you elect.
