说明
在美国，“前院晾晒衣服（drying clothes / hanging laundry out to dry in the front yard）”在一些地方会被限制，主要原因通常是这些：
HOA（业主协会）外观统一/“小区形象”要求：很多 HOA 的 CC&Rs（社区规约）会把前院的可见物（clothesline / drying rack 等）当作影响外观的东西来管，理由常见是“看起来乱、影响统一风格/房价观感”。
市/县的市容或物业维护条例（code enforcement / property maintenance）：有些城市/地区在条例里会直接写“前院/前廊不许拉晾衣绳或挂衣物”，违规可能会收到通知或罚款。比如 Fort Worth（TX）明确禁止在特定住宅分区的前院/前廊设置晾衣绳；一些城市的维护指引也写明前院/侧院/阳台栏杆不该晾衣物。
“Right-to-dry（晒衣权）”与“仍可合理限制”并存：不少州有“right-to-dry/solar drying”相关法律，会限制 HOA 或地方政府对晾晒的“一刀切禁止”，但通常仍允许合理限制（例如要求放在后院、不可从街上明显可见、限定器材类型等）。加州的 Civil Code 4750.10 就是典型例子：强调 HOA 不能不合理地禁止业主在后院使用晾衣绳/晾衣架。
