FAQ

To file a complaint against an HOA, homeowners should first attempt to resolve the dispute through the association's internal complaint process. If this does not work, the next step is to seek mediation or arbitration. As a last resort, filing a lawsuit in state court may be necessary.

State Statutes and the Georgia Commission on Equal Opportunity. Several state statutes govern HOAs in Georgia. The Georgia inium Act and the Georgia Property Owners' Association Act are key laws. The Georgia Commission on Equal Opportunity ensures fair treatment in housing.

The Board shall elect from its members a Chairperson and a Vice-Chairperson in January of odd numbered years. Each shall serve a term of two years, or until their successor has been elected.

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. The responsibility of a hired manager is determined by an agreement.

HOA Board Membership Numbers Typically, a board needs at least three members, but the maximum size will depend on state laws and the governing policies. HOA boards can expand where the demands and scope of the association increase due to new homes in the neighborhood or a larger number of residents.

The Board shall elect from its members a Chairperson and a Vice-Chairperson in January of odd numbered years. Each shall serve a term of two years, or until their successor has been elected.

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

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

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.
