HOA Homefront: Dealing with new disciplinary limitations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q: As of now, new owners are given a copy of our HOA rules and sign to acknowledge their receipt. In anticipation of legal fights that will ensue from the several new laws emasculating HOA boards, I am thinking that members should also be required to sign an agreement to abide by the HOA rules. This would better show a breach of contract in court should those rules are ignored by paying a $100 fine. Thoughts? How would that procedure be put in place for new buyers, or perhaps all members after t
HOA Homefront: Can manager act as sole disciplinarian? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q: Thanks for your articles on rules. We follow the process correctly. I have a question. If the proposed rule is changed based on input from the community or board members before or during the second meeting, must it go out for community comment again or can the board adopt the revised (proposed) rule at the second meeting.

HOA Homefront: Help for expired LA County HOAs (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
The office of HOA president is important, but sometimes misunderstood. In most associations, presidents are selected by board vote (in an open meeting). Here are some ideas as to what to look for in the HOA’s next president. First, know what is not required – a legal, accounting, or executive background. The highest educated or most successful person may not be the best president, since the president is not expected to be an expert in HOA law or accounting – the HOA has experts for that. A succe
HOA Homefront: Can we require director training? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q: I’m running for the board. Candidates to appear on the ballot had to apply by a stated deadline. I asked the agent for the names of the other candidates that applied. Can the agent withhold that information from me? J.M., Tustin A: Civil Code Section 5115(a), which requires calls for nominations to be announced and kept open for at least 30 days, does not indicate whether the identity of nominees is confidential during the nomination period. However; the nominees will be announced well before
