Security Deposit Not Returned: Minnesota

Quick background on my situation in Minnesota — any input appreciated.

HOA fining me for political sign. I've been dealing with this for about 13 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 7 years. My monthly rent is $3,537. I have a written lease.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Following this thread — +1, same situation. Hoping for good news.

Honestly, not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The trap most people fall into is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.
