- Georgia Property Owners' Association Act, O.C.G.A. § 44-3-223, gives covenants the force of law, and a homeowners' association acted with privilege when the association exercised the power to collect dues and assessments granted to the association under the covenants; the association was therefore not a stranger to the contracts or the relationship between a developer and lot buyers, and thus was not liable for tortious interference with those contracts or that relationship.
