FAQ
A quorum of the board should not be using email to discuss or make decisions on association business, and the use of unanimous consent in lieu of board meeting is potentially subject to legal challenge.
A proper HOA request letter should include: Clear headers with date and contact information. The property address and owner details. A specific subject line identifying the request type. A concise project description. Relevant timeline and completion dates. Supporting documentation references.
Here are some of the documents you can ask for as a homeowner: CC&Rs: The covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) outline the rules and regulations of the community. Bylaws: The bylaws establish operational procedures for the HOA, like voting rights, elections, meetings, powers of the board, and more.
Homeowners can bring a lawsuit against their HOA, and in some circumstances against individual board members, if the HOA abuses its power. Homeowners can ask the Court to declare that a statute or community rule has been violated and request that the Court order the HOA's compliance with that statute or rule.
The state of Arizona has a six-year statute of limitations for taking legal action in a breach of contract case.
The Homeowners Association Dispute Process is administered by the Arizona Department of Real Estate, which has the statutory jurisdiction to hear issues between residents and homeowner or inium associations.
Lien Process Limitations: In Arizona, an HOA cannot foreclose on a home solely for unpaid fines (Arizona Revised Statutes 33-1807). While unpaid fines can lead to legal action or liens on the property, foreclosure is only permitted for unpaid assessments (like maintenance fees or dues), not fines alone.
An HOA does not have the power to evict homeowners from their homes. However, an HOA can take legal action against a homeowner who violates the community's bylaws or CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions), which can result in fines or in extreme cases, foreclosure.
How to Seek Legal Action Consultation with an Attorney: Start by scheduling a consultation with an experienced Arizona HOA lawyer. Letter of Demand: In many cases, a letter of demand from your attorney to the HOA may lead to a resolution without going to court.
If you have more questions you may contact the Arizona Department of Real Estate's HOA Ombudsman here. You may also call the department at (602) 771 -7799.
