FAQ
The number is usually five. Very small associations sometimes call for three directors, and very large associations may have seven or more.
The absence of an HOA board can result in significant risks, including financial mismanagement, where bills go unpaid and dues are uncollected, leading to financial instability. Residents and city officials can also bring about legal actions against the HOA, resulting in expensive court actions.
Association directors have many responsibilities. These include adopting a budget, authorizing year-end disclosures, pursuing delinquent assessments, conducting proper elections and enforcing the governing documents, especially the CC&Rs (“CC&Rs”) and Operating Rules.
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.
HOAs are usually governed by a board of directors or governors that is elected by the homeowners to make decisions about the HOA and enforce its rules. Most HOAs in California are set up as nonprofit mutual benefit corporations, but some may be structured differently.
How are the CC&Rs enforced? California laws allow that either the association or an owner in a common interest development may file a lawsuit asking the court to enforce the CC&Rs.
An association may opt to amend or restate its CC&Rs to reflect changes in the law, to address circumstances in the development that may not have existed when it was originally formed, or to modify the rights and responsibilities of the association and its members.
While you can propose rule changes through proper channels, there's no legal way to simply ignore or “get around” the HOA's covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that you agreed to when purchasing in the community.
