Ours seem to be making up the rules as it goes along. One new "law" says when we sell, the new owner must live in the unit for the first two years. That is going to severely limit my buyer pool when I go to sell as this is a rental now.

The HOA Board only has those powers granted to it by California law and the organizing documents under which the HOA was created. An HOA can only make changes if they do so in the manner stated in the organizational documents and after putting the matter to a vote. Often, an HOA must give notice to all owners and allow them to respond and/or vote. Most such restrictions as you describe are against public policy. You may want to review the HOA's organizational documents. It also might not be an issue unless and until you attempt to sell your unit. |
