She takes it down every couple of days for a few hours and then puts it back up. The HOA continued to try and fine her and tried to amend the covenants...unfortunately for them, the covenants can't be changed without a majority approval. And since the majority of households here have either a pet or a small child that we would do anything to prevent from being injured, the board didn't get too far.
Ok I get it, I was way off. That does sound like a pain.
