    Your friend should have sued the fuck out of them. If that tree was more than a few years old they could have been looking at 6 figures in damages

      HOAs have some crazy legal standings and abilities. IANAL but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was technically legal according to their rules, and they are protected

      I will never live in an HOA.

        I highly doubt those rules can override actual laws, even if they’re in fine print you technically signed. I just don’t see a bullet point “we can secretly make a key to your property and remove something from it without any notice” holding up.

          IDK, depending on how it’s written and how messed up it is, I think they can make it so when you sign and buy the house, you’re only renting out leasing the land underneath it. Therefore they’re not cutting down your tree, they’re cutting down their tree. Something like that 🤷‍♂️
