I don't know the outcome, I left shortly after. People owned these units, HOA can force a particular style of lock to match all the other units, but they can't bust into homes and force homeowners to change their locks. How each homeowner resolved the issue wasn't their concern, but I do think they hired a locksmith as a courtesy. It just took HOA a long time to figure out what to do.

    I'm in an HOA, I know their bullshit.

    Its a condo, so not a lot we can do outside our door. BUT, I put a custom doormat, after going through the rules and seeing nothing about that, at all. Got a notice I had to change it, said "please show me where in the rules, it specifically states it's the only thing I can customize". Never heard another word about it.

    They provided cheap rubber ones, and the rules said if we lost it we could get another for $25. It never said anything about trashing that one and putting my own.

    Got a door cam because the unit across kept leaving trash in the hall. Found out owner was renting it as an Airbnb, so when they complained about my camera I replied with why I have it. Not another word about it.

    I understand there are rules, but there are also legit reasons for certain things that break the rules, case by case. Will not buy into another HOA home
