Legal Question in Constitutional Law in California

I live in a condo and the board is trying to prohibit dog owners from stopping in common areas to talk to each other because some residents claim hearing us talk is a nuisance. What can we do about this?

For starters you can post this under real estate law. It is not a constitutional issue in any way shape or form.

I agree with Mr. McCormick. You may have thought this was a constitutional issue because it involves speech. But the Constitution limits only the government's authority over speech. It does not limit the authority of private entities like condo boards and homeowners associations. The extent of their authority is governed by real estate law, so Mr. McCormick is right when he says you should post your question under that category.
