my condoe building doesnt have a hoa, it has a joined ownership. once two or more housing units share the same building a legal deity is automaticly formed on that adress and that deity is controlled by its owners by one vote per unit and has a strict law they must follow. nowhere in this law does it give the board or other owners the right to controll what the rest do within their property, but it does give them the right to spread bills for maintendance on the individual owners and in the absolute worst case, they can go to court and demand a foreclosed sale if they dont pay. a nighmareish process thats almost unheard of.
