Since i own the home i own the inside and i don t believe they can enforce this and tell me what i can and cannot have inside my home.
Condo rules for hard flooring in upstairs units.
Condo owners consent to these conditions when they purchase the unit.
A notice from the hoa came out that tile or wood flooring is not permitted on the first floor of a 2story unit.
To avoid upstairs noise nuisances an hoa may need to amend its governing documents to require approval for flooring changes.
However the unit owner never obtained the board s approval in violation of the association declaration s floor covering restriction.
When in doubt consult with legal counsel.
Better to fully comply and not face this issue.
Third make sure to highlight the restrictions on hard surface flooring in the rules and reference the sections of the cc rs.
We never heard noise from our previous upstairs neighbors.
If the association s cc rs give the board discretion to allow flooring modifications from carpet to hard surface flooring the board may wish to impose conditions on that approval.
A common provision in these rules is to disallow hard flooring surfaces on upper levels.
Consider the adoption of guidelines as to what an owner can do to get approval for hard surface flooring if possible.
