Can condo board prohibit me having parakeets? They are not loud hence no voice complaints, and it is condo, not coop. Birds stay within my condo walls

They can't physically prevent you. They could fine you, if and only if, your association bylaws preclude parakeet or other more general animal descriptions.

Deloitte 1 I didn’t know about bylaws. This is my first property in the states. I paid thousands to my lawyers who should have provided me with all that was needed.

An HOA can basically make any rule that enough people vote into the bylaws. They can say that you can’t paint your house pink, or can’t hang anything in your windows, or can’t make noise heard externally between 9am and 3pm if they wanted to.

What matters is what’s in the bylaws. If you have a mortgage, most mortgage companies will require you to receive a copy of the bylaws and sign a paper that says you read everything. From there, you should definitely attend any HOA meetings you can and keep an eye on anything they communicate, especially around new rules.

My condominium is self governed. Out of eight families, three are in the board. When I bought the place, I was never given governing documents / bylaws and was told that whatever happened in my condo walls, wasn’t their business as I own the walls and all inside… how frustrating

I find it odd that you didn’t read the bylaws before purchasing. They can say any crazy thing they want in those bylaws. You could probably get around it by getting them classified as emotional support animals like the renters do.

😂 I use to prank my sister. Every year I’d make a trip to Goodwill and find the ugliest most offensive thing I could put in her HOA yard. She never looked so it would sit there until someone told her. It’s GenX humor. Don’t let the intrusive thoughts in op!

I don’t see why not. I’d run it by the board in case they are a bunch of Karen’s who fine you for stepping out of line. But I think most people are reasonable, especially since you said it was self governing

A report opened to me that they are having money problems and wants a raise. We are remote and they moved to a high CoL city. We gave an increase to help with retention 6mths ago. In my response, I helped mentor with best practices on how to ask for a raise professionally since I need to make a case to my Head on finances. But their performance has been avg and not seemingly worthy of another large raise within a short period of time. But how do I respond when they talk about personal finances?
