Quote from @Josh Bowser: Gang - I love the back in forth on this thread and looks like this post keeps getting responses!

Let's cut to the chase:  "A tenant is obligated to follow HOA rules, as they are considered residents of the community and must abide by the same restrictions as homeowners, even though they do not own the property; the landlord is responsible for ensuring their tenants understand and comply with the HOA rules.

Readers should seek professional advice.Great responses hereHowever, full site visits, though more expensive, maximize tax savings by capturing every depreciable asset and offer better audit protection....This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Mary Jo, thanks for the response.

Thanks in advance for your response. 

I wrote a letter to the HOA yesterday explaining why the door was needed, how security would be very tight, and how the HOA itself could potentially be responsible for any ADA fines/penalties if they are found to the "barrier to access" for ADA as they control the lobby.We have a tenant lined up and obviously this is causing a major issue.
