Do HOAs typically allow changing bathroom layout? [CA][condo]
Hi! I've never lived in a condo/townhome before, and after not having luck with SFH in my city, I'm looking at a few condo/townhome. The one in particular that has my interest, the layout of the bathrooms do not make use of the space efficiently. Things I'd want to do is move the position and location of the toilet and tub to give more moving space. This would mean some pipe work.
I'm guessing I'd need approval, but what I'm curious about is if these things usually get approved or denied? I wouldn't want to buy then find out I can't do this. My understanding is I can get access to HOA docs during the escrow, but do I also get permission to ask HOA specific questions?
Edit: Reading some comments, it seems there's a difference between condo vs townhome. I'm not too sure if the unit is a condo or townhome, since one of the unit in the community is listed as a condo (probably realtor mistake), but the other a townhome. All units within this community are multi floors and only share neighbors on the side.
