FAQ
Federal and state laws take precedence over all other association documents, including the CC&Rs and the operating rules. For instance, in California, Civil Code Section 4715 states that HOAs can't prohibit owners from keeping at least one pet.
These are just a few categories in which an HOA may have regulations. However, the HOA must comply with local laws, and the law will supersede the HOA's rules. For this reason, HOAs should check that their regulations do not conflict with local, state, or federal laws.
Most HOA documents are public record, including governing documents. Some states only require the HOA to make certain documents public, while others can be kept confidential.
Homeowner associations (HOAs) are not unconstitutional as they are private entities. They have the authority to set rules and restrictions that govern community living, provided these do not infringe on individual rights unduly.
HOAs have power because the association grants them rights and privileges. An HOA's power comes from the documents that created the association. It gives the HOA the ability to set rules and regulations for the building or community. The documents also give the HOA the ability to enforce those rules.
So, can you refuse to join a homeowners association? In most cases, the answer is no — you can't opt out if your property is part of a mandatory HOA. However, you can avoid this by simply choosing not to buy a home in a mandatory HOA community and going for disbanded or voluntary HOAs.
The secretary is responsible for maintaining association records accurately, including meeting minutes, bylaws, and membership records.
The New York State Eviction Moratorium that allowed tenants to file a hardship declaration to stop their eviction expired on January 15, 2022. Landlords are now allowed to serve court papers and the courts will be resuming eviction proceedings even if you filed a hardship declaration.
The Office of the New York State Attorney General (OAG) requires that the sponsor file an offering plan for the homeowners association, and that the sponsor maintain the commitments it made in the offering plan. The OAG's jurisdiction is limited to ownership and maintenance of HOA common property.
Homeowners' Associations in New York, or otherwise known as Common Interest Communities, are regulated by the Attorney General's office and must be set up as non-profit organizations. They are governed by NY Not-For-Profit Corporation Law, the Association's Articles of Declaration, and Bylaws.
