If you live in a neighborhood within Hemet or the San Jacinto Valley, chances are you live within the Homeowners Association for that area. While the idea of an association can be beneficial, it can also create problems and discord among neighbors. The leader of the association can assume too much power and begin making regulations that are unnecessary and burdensome to those in the neighborhood. On the other hand, there can be neighbors that refuse to comply. When you are in a leadership role of an HOA, you may need to hire legal counsel to support you in the decisions you are forced to make, such as fining a resident for a violation.
An HOA is a valuable part of the community for many reasons yet there are some people who choose to violate the rules and regulations. Before moving in, they must agree to the regulations as established by the association so they cannot legally refute them. When they refuse to comply, you may need the assistance of an experienced attorney to enforce your HOA’s CC&Rs.
Some of the issues that our office can assist you with are the following:
Age Restrictions (55+)
