FAQ

Section 4900 of the Act says that all HOA board meetings must be open to all association members, with a few exceptions for private sessions. In California, executive sessions are closed-door talks that only board members, and certain other people can attend.

Residents in California HOAs have a right to access various association records and attend meetings. In the interest of promoting transparency, associations are mandated to provide members with meeting minutes, financial documents, and other records upon request.

A board may take action (vote on a decision) without a meeting. A board meeting is a gathering of the board in a way that the board members can communicate live and in real time.

To put it simply, homeowners can sue HOA or condo board members and even name them personally in the lawsuit. But, there's no guarantee that they will win. Board members are afforded a certain level of protection from personal liability through state laws and the association's governing documents.

In a word, yes. There are certain decisions the board can make unilaterally. On the flip side, there are also some decisions that must go through a membership vote. The limitations of an HOA board's authority differ from one community to another.

10 things to include in your HOA bylaws Name and purpose. The very first bylaws are the ones in which the association states its. Membership requirements. Board duties. Officer duties. Board member meetings. Member meetings. Committees. Non-compliance to bylaws.

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.

There is no need for board meetings to follow a formal order. HOWEVER, meetings should always have minutes. Minutes are, amongst other things, a CYA device for the board, so it is imperative to have them.

As Kriegstein explains, “In order to enforce an HOA rule, the association must have the authority to do so, as outlined in its governing documents. This may include the ability to impose fines or penalties for noncompliance or to take legal action against homeowners who refuse to comply.”

Consequences of Non-Compliance Fines and Penalties: HOAs have the authority to impose fines and penalties on homeowners who violate community rules. These fines can escalate over time if the violation persists, potentially leading to significant financial burdens for non-compliant homeowners.
