## What do you think? Question:

Here is the story I bought a 2 level condo but is 3 stories with a unit below mine. I installed tile flooring on my first floor and ripped up the existing carpet and pergo. Just so happens my neighbors below me have complained of excessive noise due to dragging of chairs and even walking on it with hard soles shoes while I'm working this out with them. A notice from the HOA came out that tile or wood flooring is not permitted on the first floor of a 2story unit. 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. What's the deal on this?
