Can you go to an HOA meeting and just ask them specifically what's allowed and what's not? Our HOA is fairly lenient on most things but I know that's not the case with many. I've gone to ours and just said here's my problem. What options do I have to fix it?

I've also found that the management company - or at least ours - aren't helpful and don't know anything. It was easier to just go directly to the meeting and ask questions.
