    So in the “Land of the Free”, you are not even free to paint your house as you wish?

      For a country so based on freedom, they certainly love restricting what people can do with their property and bodies.

      You are free to live somewhere else and not enter that contract. I’m always amazed by people who didn’t read the covenant or rules of the building as the case may be.

          Well I assume since real estate transactions are a state thing, like they are a province thing in Canada, laws will vary. When I bought my condo there was no obligation from the seller/realtor to disclose that such rules even exist, however they have to produce them when asked. And of course you are bound to the rules when you buy on the legal doctrine of “you should have known”.
