Covenant enforcement usually ramps up in our office in the spring, but we often receive phone calls from managers and Board members regarding holiday displays. From elaborate constructions of holiday cheer to somewhat less friendly displays, we see just about everything. A few reminders when considering whether the displays in your neighborhood are enforcement-worthy:
Do you have the power? Check your documents. If they do not provide limitations, it’s probably a bad idea to start imposing them on Christmas Eve.
Are you targeting someone because of personal beliefs? Stop it.
Don’t be a Grinch. If your association provides clear rules and regulations governing holiday light displays, you can enforce any violations after the holiday season. If you don’t like the Griswold house down the street, calm down, drink another glass of eggnog, and remember – it will all be over soon!
