“I look forward to reading them.”
Brenda walked away.
I closed the door.
Ten minutes later, I ordered a new doorbell camera.
Not because I was afraid.
Because documentation had become necessary.
The first formal notice arrived three days later.
MANDATORY KEY COMPLIANCE.
I searched every referenced section.
None authorized key collection.
One section covered emergency maintenance access to common elements.
Another allowed entry under narrow conditions when owners had voluntarily agreed in writing.
Brenda had stitched unrelated language together and presented it like law.
I wrote a response.
Clear.
Short.
Professional.
I stated that I did not consent to turning over any key.
I requested the exact governing authority supporting the demand.
I asked whether the policy had been reviewed by association counsel.
I asked for minutes showing the vote.
I asked how keys would be stored, who would have access, what liability insurance applied, and what happened if a key was duplicated, lost, or misused.
