Q: Can a condominium association in Wisconsin not allow you to post a political sign in my window.
Wisconsin Statutes state: 703.105 Display of the United States flag and political
signs. (1) No bylaw or rule may be adopted or provision
included in a declaration or deed that prohibits a unit owner from
respectfully displaying the United States flag.
(1m) No bylaw or rule may be adopted or provision included
in a declaration or deed that prohibits a unit owner from displaying
in his or her condominium a sign that supports or opposes a candidate
for public office or a referendum question.
(2) Notwithstanding subs. (1) and (1m), bylaws or rules may
be adopted that regulate the size and location of signs, flags and
flagpoles.
A:
Per Section 703.03, 703.105 only applies when the condiminium has been declared. Assuming that you live in a registered condiminium, no rule or bylaw, declaration or deed may prohibit you from displaying a United States flag.
I would suggest hiring an attorney like myself to handle this matter further. I am receptive to helping with Civil Rights issues at a drastically reduced rate.
