Hoa Threatening To Tow Our Vehicles Based On A Rule They Just Made Up. Is This Legal?

Hey Reddit! So here’s the situation. My gf and I have a large parking spot in the corner of the parking garage. It’s big enough that we can fit two cars and two motorcycles (1 behind each car). This hasn’t been an issue this summer and there is no rule stating how many vehicles can occupy the space so long as we’re not outside the lines (which we are not, both of our cars are coupes). Two board members of the hoa have complained about the noise our bikes make (they’re small bikes, low cc and we don’t rev them), though we are not in violation of any rules. We don’t ride past 10pm and we ride maybe a few times a week at most. Since we’re not violating any rules, they’re targeting us in another way… they’re essentially trying to create a new rule that says only two vehicles can be in a spot regardless of how much space they take. They told us this TODAY and are threatening to tow our vehicles and or impose fines effective immediately. So while there isn’t currently a rule, they’re telling us they want to impose one that literally doesn’t exist and want to penalize us on a same day notice. Is this legal and what can we do if not? Thanks for any info!
