Throughout the state of California, millions of people live in common interest communities, each of which is governed by a homeowner’s association (HOA). Many of these San Diego, Riverside, Temecula or Palm Springs associations encounter disputes between homeowners or between the homeowners and the HOA itself. Disagreements may arise over a variety of issues, including noise violations, community fee structures, parking rules, restrictions on rental units, and many others. The homeowners who live within these developments deserve to have savvy and tenacious legal counsel they can count on. Homeowner Law is that firm.
The Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act (“the Act”) governs condominium, cooperative, and planned unit development communities in California. The Act gives HOAs wide-ranging powers that, often due to lack of education or knowledge, are often misconstrued or abused by the board of directors and management companies who govern over these communities.
Even worse, the Act provides nearly no government oversight, so it is up to you to defend yourself against illegal or inappropriate behavior. If you are on the board of directors and want to ensure your HOA is acting properly, or are a homeowner being subject to discriminatory, retaliatory or predatory behavior by your association, Homeowners Law is here for you.
