Community association

In 1984 I purchased a newly developed residential property in Baltimore, Md. I was given easements for parking and use of the common area.A numbered parking slot was assigned to my house.I was forced to join the Jefferson Court Community Association. I pay $125 per year to the association for the upkeep of the forsaid areas.
In 1997, I rented out my home and moved to another state.
The Board for the association has taken away my easement to park and says that they have the right to rent this parking space to me and my tenant, or anyone else for that mattter. Therefore, my car will be towed when I visit my property unless I pay them $25 a month. The Board says that because I am not a "Homeowner Resident" (owner living in the property) they have a right to restrict me and my tenant from parking and they do not have to send me any notification for any activities including nominations of officers and elections. My tenant or I do not have the right to vote. The Board says that the the By-Laws may be changed with the permission of 10% of the home owners.
Can I get out of the Association? Do I have to pay for something that I cannot use? Where do I go for help?

You can not simply opt out of the HOA. If you are an owner you automatically belong.

Every owner is supposed to have a right to vote as a HOA member.

If the rules are legally in place with respect to parking stalls, then you must abide.

You need to do some serious reading of all your HOA legal documents or hire an attorney to advise you.
