Thanks for feedback.
To reply to one question, it is the house ruler that prohibit the distribution of any materials directly, e.g. without going through the US Mails.
In addition, those running for public office are not permitted to distribute items on premises.
As a matter of fact, some politicians visited our outdoor pool area a few years ago and the residents complained. Thus, there are no more solicitations at the pool.
Yes, there is a bulletin board where residents may place postings.
And for further clarification, the existing board does not solicit in the lobby, mailroom, hallways, etc., or via materials under doors ... and as far as I know, the existing board has never used public handouts or materials under the door. So, there is no precedent to use as leverage.
The board's mantra seems to be "quality of life" is paramount. Thus, outdoor athletic court lights are deactivated at 10 PM, and there is no construction of any type permitted in any unit, or even in the common areas of the building or property, outside of Mon. to Fri, 9 AM to 5 PM. These no-noise restrictions are imposed on the eve of religious holidays.
