Reason number 987 why I won’t ever live in an HOA community. That being said, define “open”. I would allow the garage door to be “opened” one inch. It is open and not securely closed.... just my way of thinking about it. :)
One could move all the tools and lawnmower into the bedroom, and move a bedroom bed, bureau, night stand and lamp into the garage. Oh, and make sure the bed is not made.
And then leave garage wide open.
