Anyone got any good legal ways to legally annoy a neighborhood association?

I really feel for you because I used to own some condo rental properties. And my association was completely obnoxious as well.
But here's the problem. I did hire a lawyer, and virtually ALL case law favors the association.
And I mean stupid cases like whether or not people can have pets. The association always won.
The ONLY way I was able to get back at them was by selling the properties and stopping payment on the last checks I sent them.
But, in the meantime, be VERY CAREFUL about getting into a war with them. These people are very petty and they WILL make your life miserable.
They will fine you to death if you do some of the things mentioned above. And they can get away with it because they DO have the advantage legally.
The only real solution is to sell and get out. And they can make that very difficult as well.
I'll NEVER buy an association property again. It's insane to get into a situation where someone else can tell you what you can do with your property. I learned that lesson the hard way.
