One family in Ship Shape Homeowners Association always has its trash cans out too early or on the wrong days. Neighbors complain that trash blows around the neighborhood. The board has sent letters reminding the family that the rules prohibit trash cans on the street before 6 p.m. the night before trash day and after 8 p.m. on trash day. The next step would be to fine the homeowners. But the father said he has assigned trash duty to his teenage son, who is mentally disabled, and the son will be required to pay any fines levied.

Should the board enforce the rule? Or should it take a lenient approach and ask neighbors to understand?
