## What do you think? Question:

![condo-developer-harassing-owner](http://www.condoassociation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/condo-developer-harassing-owner.jpg?width=270&name=condo-developer-harassing-owner.jpg)I just  bought a townhome and am planing to change the carpet to laminate.

The HOA said I need to prove that the sound rating of my laminate must be better than the carpet. I don't think it is fair since:

1). I don't have a neighbor downstairs, I own all 3 stories.

2). When I bought the home, the builder did offer laminate as upgrade. I am just getting it done through someone else with MUCH better products.

3) I have no issue providing the information since I know the product I am installing is much better, but the builder refuses to provide the information (what is currently installed in the model home) and guess what - since it is a new community, the builder is also the HOA board of director.

 I feel I am being harassed by the HOA, what should I do?
