You would be very wrong.
I just wouldn't ask my girlfriend to fight for me.

I'm *assuming* that since they're together for a while now, that they might
even have a common purpose.

They might. And he might be willing to shoulder the entire financial
risk, which could be substantial. But I didn't see any offer of that.

And as far as I see it, she's only at the *risk*
of listening to some ****ant weenie scream.

Generally, covenants are written to give the HOA teeth for
enforcement. They won't need to scream. Her risk could mean anything
from a slap on the wrist type fine to legal fees and a court fight (a
court in which she would be on her own since her boyfriend would have
no standing there either) that she may win or lose. But even if she
wins, she loses. Those things cost time and money.
Point being, some battle are worth fighting and some aren't.

I'll say it again. I wouldn't put a girlfriend at risk for me like
that.

If you would, fine.

But the OP was just asking for opinions and I think he has enough now
to consider. I'm sure he can sort it out.
