For instance, in California, the Civil Code Section 1367.4 dictates that an HOA may only foreclose on a property if the delinquent assessments reach over $1,800.
The Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act, also known as the Davis-Stirling Act, is a body of law that governs California inium, cooperative, and planned development communities, known as common interest developments, regardless of when they were developed.
Additionally, condo owners often don't own the land their unit is built on—they lease it from the condo association—which can lead to different restrictions regarding renovations or modifications.
A home can be foreclosed on for many kinds of debts, not just a mortgage. For example, Home Owner's Association (HOA) can foreclose in some cases for unpaid dues and assessments.
Moreover, California law does not permit HOAs to evict homeowners. If the owner of the property is leasing it to a renter, however, the homeowners' association may be allowed to remove the tenant.
Laws always supersede governing documents IF they conflict and the law applies to your HOA. In California, the Davis-Stirling Act may take precedent over general corporation codes because it's specific to HOAs.
An HOA has the authority to enforce the rules and regulations of the community using the community rules, or “bylaws and covenants.” These rules are considered “agreed upon” since homeowners approve them through board-elected representatives.
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.
