FAQ
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.
In California, for instance, homeowners associations, treated as landlords, have the right of entry under emergency situations. It is important to note that, if state laws and an association's CC&Rs come into conflict, the former always trumps the latter.
HOA Right to Enter to Inspect a Unit for Rule Violations An HOA might also have the right to enter an owner's unit to inspect for a violation of the development's rules or regulations. Normally this is allowed only if the HOA has good reason to believe a violation is occurring.
Specifically, HOAs can't enforce rental caps that limit rentals to less than 25% of the units, nor can they impose upfront fees to lease a property. By limiting rental caps, AB 3182 aims to increase the availability of rental housing in California.
Residents in California HOAs have a right to access various association records and attend meetings. In the interest of promoting transparency, associations are mandated to provide members with meeting minutes, financial documents, and other records upon request.
San Jose's Short-Term Rental Ordinance Key provisions include: Annual Rental Caps: A limit of 180 days per year when the host is not present. Zoning: Ensuring rentals align with local neighborhood zoning regulations. Permitting: Hosts must obtain a permit or registration with the city.
The new HOA law in California, passed in September 2024, includes amendments to the Davis-Stirling Act of 1985. These amendments make it possible for HOAs to conduct elections online rather than through costly and time-consuming paper balloting.
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.

This restriction is less common but may be implemented in communities that value owner-occupancy. In California, however, Civil Code Section 4741 does not allow HOAs to prohibit or unreasonably restrict owners from renting out their homes.
