In order to install a central air unit, HOA said that I need to run the line under my stairs which is above the lower owner storage unit.

They will not allow me to install another way where it does not interfere with the other condo unit. While there are two existing condo units installed without going through another unit's storage. My concern is liability. if I installed it the way they would allow, should the refrigerant lines leak, I would be responsible for the damages done to the other unit. They told me those owners of the existing central units have been asked to remove their units which I don't know if it is really true. I already have spoken to one recently and he said he has not gotten a letter about it and that he bought the condo with the central air already in. The application was submitted almost 3 months ago, and I don't see anything is being done on the existing units but yet they are not allowing me to install like the existing ones.
