    They are legally able to do this. The neighbors want their peace and quiet. They want you to move back there. I bet you didn’t disturb them when you lived there.

    It is written in the lease that they can do a lot of things. Even if you leave the garage door open all day, they can file a complaint. You need to read the rules of the HOA carefully, I am sure its there.

    Look in your declarations and/or condo by-laws. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a provision regarding noise complaints and/or rules and that the board is empowered to enforce the rules.

    You need to get your tenant under control.

    Yes they can. Its the law in most places no noise after a certain time at night. And if its before this time and people complain the police will come and issue a warning. This law is in place because Everybody has the right to live peaceful and not be disturbed by unnesscerry noise I also know in Ontario Canada a landlord has the right to Evict to a tennant for to much noise

    If you are asking can the HOA issue fines against you for the actions of your tenant, then Yes the HOA can issue you directly the fines versus the tenant and it quite common operating procedure

    They are with in their rights if the HOA rules have a stipulation about noise levels.

    You were probably a quiet resident – but your tenants are obviously bothering people. Being loud and bothering neighbors is a violation of most leases and HOA rules. Send your tenants a violation notice to stop making noise or move out, before you end up getting sued. You are ultimately responsible for your tenants.
