What are unenforceable HOA rules? Keep you out of court. Hush up litigation. Discriminate indiscriminately. Enter your home without cause or notice. String you out on the (clothes)line. Fine you for fun. Change rules on the fly. Demand you take down your dish.

Overview of AB 3182 This legislation's key provision is the limitation it places on HOAs' ability to restrict homeowners from renting out their properties.

Members are usually only those who own the lots within the association. This means that an owner's spouse, attorney, or tenant may not be allowed to attend HOA meetings. Not all HOAs strictly enforce this rule.
