HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATIONS REVISITED - CAN
THEY REALLY MAKE YOU PARK YOUR RV IN A
GARAGE? You may recall that
last year I told you about how homeowners'
associations enforce their rules, using as
an example the story of an elderly woman in
Glendale who lost her house in a foreclosure
by her homeowners' association. Now there is
a reported case in Tucson that provides
another example of homeowners' association
rules and how they are enforced. The case
also demonstrates how those rules can
interact with other rules governing
property, in this case the Fair Housing
Amendments Act (the "FHAA"). Once again, the
case provides a demonstration of how
homeowners' associations enforce their
rules, and how not to respond when you get
into a dispute with your homeowners'
association.

The Homeowners'
Association: Angel or Devil?
Homeowners' associations, or HOAs, are
formal legal entities created to maintain
common areas and enforce deed restrictions.
Most condominium and townhome developments,
and many newer single-family subdivisions
have HOAs, which are usually created when
the development is built. Covenants,
Conditions & Restrictions (CC&R's) are
issued to each homeowner, and HOAs are
established to ensure that they are adhered
to in order to maintain the quality and
value of the properties involved.
