## What do you think? Question:

![condo tile floor](https://www.condoassociation.com/hs-fs/file-2325108760-jpg/images/tile_floor_removal_093014-resized-600.jpg)

I recently purchased a 3 bed/ 2 bath condo in a suburb outside of Los Angeles. I've been living there for about two months and just received a letter from the HOA stating that I was in violation of having "hard floor covering". When I purchased the condo it already had tile throughout (but not in the bedrooms). And being my first purchase, I had no idea this wasn't allowed. I spoke to the previous owners and they said the tile was there before they moved in as well. So the tile has been there for over 8 years.

I put every penny into buying this place and can't afford to replace the flooring. Further more, I would have never purchased the place knowing the tile had to be removed. What are my options here?? Does any type of grandfathering apply?
