Condo association rules aren't laws
So what? They're rules with the force of law.
and I have the freedom to NOT live under those rules (by not living in a condo).
And you have the freedom to NOT live under society's rules (by not living in the society).
But laws that take away an adult's personal freedom, on the assumption that NO ONE will behave responsibly are, in my view, immoral and unjust.
OK, you've amended you original argument and inserted a falsehood into it. What laws make the assumption "that NO ONE will behave responsibly"?

"So what? They're rules with the force of law."
Civil law, as opposed to criminal. And all parties have the freedom to not enter into a contract, making this an issue of choice. By signing a contract, you agree to its terms and are bound by them. Don't sign, and the rules are meaningless.
"And you have the freedom to NOT live under society's rules (by not living in the society)."
"Society's rules" don't have the right to suppress my freedoms, and if/when they do, I'll fight the infringement, as is my right and responsibility under the Constitution.
"OK, you've amended you original argument and inserted a falsehood into it. What laws make the assumption "that NO ONE will behave responsibly"?"
Gun laws that limit access to firearms by law-abiding citizens fall into that category.
