"My HOA says I must put up Holiday Lights at my home. They are being jerks about it, I can find nothing in the bylaws."

 I did not find any documents or written policies indicating that you are required to put up holiday lights on your home.

Generally, if a requirement is not stated in the official HOA bylaws, rules, or regulations, the HOA cannot enforce it as a mandatory obligation. HOAs must follow their own governing documents. If there is nothing in writing, you are typically not required to comply.

Here's what you can do next:

• Ask your HOA for a written policy or documented rule regarding holiday lights.

• Request clarification on where this requirement is stated in the bylaws or rules.

• If they cannot provide proof in writing, you can politely decline and reference the absence of any such requirement in the governing documents.
