Landlords can&#039;t raise rent more than 10% total or 5% + CPI increase (whichever is lower) over a 12-month period. No-fault evictions are prohibited, so landlords can&#039;t evict a tenant without cause.

FAQ

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.

The winding up process includes, among other things, giving notice of the dissolution to creditors of the HOA (Corporations Code § 8618), paying all known liabilities and debts (Corporations Code §§ 8713, 8714), selling assets (Corporations Code § 8710), and distributing any remaining assets to homeowners.

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.

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.

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.

Any rental unit built after 2/1/95, as well as houses and condos, are not under rent restrictions. Even where these rent restrictions do not apply, eviction protections do continue.
