FAQ

The best way to strategize on short-term rental restrictions is to speak to a board member. At the same time, you can consult the CC&Rs' (Covenants, conditions, and restrictions) advice. Knowing the potential risks of getting around HOA's restrictions is important. And we highly recommend doing it the legal way.

No, there is not a way to ``leave the HOA'' without moving. The HOA covenants are tied to the property permanently.

Also, for the decisions made by an HOA, except for the cases provided for by Article 7(4) of this Law, the HOA members shall be liable, personally and jointly, in proportion to their share in the common property of HOA members.

There is no set number of dogs you can own as long as they are well kept and are not dangerous or a nuisance.

The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.

In Georgia, an HOA's authority is regulated by state laws such as the Georgia inium Act and the Georgia Property Owners Association Act, which set boundaries on what HOAs can and cannot do, ensuring they operate within legal parameters.

In order to have a legal right to an ESA, owners need to first obtain a signed prescription letter from a licensed psychologist, therapist, or psychiatrist. This letter must state that an ESA is needed to alleviate at least one symptom or effect of the owner's mental health condition.

ESAs are not defined under Georgia state law, but they are recognized and protected under the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) and the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA). Unlike the ADA, both acts allow (or used to allow) ESAs under certain circumstances.

There is no official process for ESA registration, and you are not required to place your emotional support dog (or other animals) on any sort of registry. The only documentation necessary for emotional support animals is an ESA letter, which is provided by a licensed medical professional.

There are both voluntary and mandatory HOAs in Georgia, which means that in some communities, it is compulsory to become a member when you move to the area, and the only way to leave is to sell your home or request that your property be removed.
