Are homeowner's associations allowed to enforce deed restrictions?

Yes, as part of their governance
No, but they can recommend enforcement
No, they cannot enforce restrictive covenants
Yes, but only with homeowner consent

The correct answer is: No, they cannot enforce restrictive covenants

Homeowner's associations are not able to enforce deed restrictions because they do not hold any legal power to do so. Only governmental entities or individual property owners can enforce deed restrictions, as they are considered legally binding agreements. Homeowner's associations can recommend enforcement to the appropriate party, but they cannot take direct action. Option A is incorrect because while homeowner's associations may have some governing power over their community, they cannot enforce legal documents like deed restrictions. Option B is incorrect because while they can suggest enforcement, they cannot take direct action themselves. Option D is incorrect because homeowner's consent is not required for enforcement of deed restrictions.
