Association By Laws : Motorcycle parked question ?

I own a condo and I have my own garage. My son lives with me and he rides a motorcycle in the summer. I pay a monthly homeowners association fee and I live next door to a Senior citizen that complains and reports anything she can find.

I was reading my by laws and I wanted to be sure its ok for my son to have his motorcycle parked in our garage and the By Law for vehicles states :

No trailer, mobile home, motor bus, motorcycles, commercial or inoperative vehicle of any description shall be parked, stored , or maintained on the condominium.

Does this mean my son can't have a motorcycle ?

    I think those laws are created by Hitler. How can they limit what you can own if you have a garage?

    You asked a question and gave the answer too. Some people have no reading comprehension. I know people like this and they are exhausting.

    "..maintained on the condominium" is the problem.

    If the garage is considered part of the condominium, then NO you can't have the motorcycle. But the wording of that law is unclear. Go to the part instead where it defines WHAT THE CONDOMINIUM is. That should be in the first part of the bylaws. If the garage Is part of it, then you can't have one. If the garage is NOT part of it, then the motorcycle is not violating any rules.

    ask a lawyer the consultation is free.

    It sounds like it but that is absurd if it is kept in your garage.

    That is the way it reads.  You could argue that the wording is such that only inoperative vehicle including trailers, mobile homes motorcycles are not allowed.  Because he is riding his operational motorcycle, it is not in contravention of the rule.

    By a strict reading of the rules, yes. They don't want ugly/unsavory/broken stuff sitting around and making the place look bad. If you can argue that it's his primary means of transportation, that's different.

    It means he cannot store in in your garage. He can have it if he finds somewhere else to store it.
