Why Are There So Many Bad HOAs in California?

Is your HOA run by a director who patrols the neighborhood with a clipboard, a tape measure, and a camera? In this episode, attorney Michael Kushner, California’s most experienced homeowner-side HOA attorney, takes on a listener’s complaint about exactly that kind of HOA and names the #1 reason bad HOAs exist and persist. Living in a good HOA can be a good way to live. Living in a bad HOA is HOA HELL. And the difference starts with you. You’ll Learn in this Episode: ✅ The single factor that lets bad HOAs exist and persist. ✅ The importance that the annual disclosures serve in turning your bad HOA into a good HOA. ✅ The grass-height rule, the director with a ruler, and the line between enforcing a rule and abusing it. ✅ The recall process, and how 1 or 2 engaged neighbors can grow into enough votes to remove bad directors.  If you’re tired of living in a bad HOA, this episode gives you a place to start.  HELPFUL LINKS:  “HOA Recalls in California: How Homeowners Can Remove Their HOA Board” https://mbkchapman.com/hoa-recalls-in-california-fact-sheet/  “HOA Recalls in California: The Power to Remove Your HOA Board” https://mbkchapman.com/california-hoa-recall-board/  “Mandatory Annual Disclosures that CA HOAs Must Make to Members” https://mbkchapman.com/california-hoa-annual-disclosures/    🎧 📞 If you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe to HOA HELL.
