Can residents display non-commercial artwork or installations in communal areas?

The ability to display non-commercial artwork or installations in communal areas will vary depending on the specific rules, regulations, and policies of the community or property management.

In many cases, communal areas such as lobbies, hallways, or common rooms are managed or governed by a homeowners association (HOA), rental property management, or similar entities. These governing bodies typically establish guidelines and restrictions regarding the use and decoration of communal spaces.

Some communities may have specific rules in place that allow residents to display non-commercial artwork or installations, while others may prohibit it entirely or require prior approval. Certain restrictions may be in place to ensure the safety, aesthetics, and overall harmony of the communal areas.

To determine whether residents can display non-commercial artwork or installations, it is best to consult the community's governing documents, such as the HOA bylaws or rental agreements, and reach out to the appropriate authority for clarification. This could include contacting the community management, HOA board, or property management company.
