   I live in a condo. Can the building board ban me from growing my four plants?

   Yes, they may be able to—but it depends on several factors:

   • Your state or country. Laws vary widely. Some places protect a resident's right to grow a limited number of plants, while others allow condo associations to impose stricter rules.
   • Your condo association's governing documents. The declaration, CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions), bylaws, and rules may prohibit or regulate cultivation, even if it's legal under state law.
   • Whether the plants are grown legally. If you're referring to cannabis plants, some jurisdictions that allow home cultivation still permit condo or homeowners' associations to restrict it, especially due to concerns about odors, fire safety, moisture, or common-area impacts.

   If you're in the United States, many condo associations can adopt and enforce reasonable rules affecting what residents do within their units, provided those rules don't conflict with state law.

   If you can tell me:

   1. What state or country you live in, and
   2. Whether the four plants are cannabis or something else,

   I can give a more specific answer about whether your building board is likely allowed to ban them.
