Does the HOA have any right over airspace?

Today’s question is about HOA rights when it comes to drone flying. Can the HOA inhibit drones from flying in their community?

Our caller, Tristan from South Florida, was recently heckled by a homeowner and asked to stop flying his drone near their house. As per the owner, because his house falls under HOA jurisdiction, Tristan has no right to take off, fly, and land his drone. Is this correct?

Certainly, the HOA or the Homeowner’s association is responsible for the upkeep of all the properties that fall under its jurisdiction. But can the HOA exert right over airspace? And, how should Tristan deal with unruly folks who are totally in the dark as far as drone laws are concerned? In this show, we discuss negotiation tactics and other strategies for diffusing such tense situations.
