Q.Can the HOA arbitrarily approve or disprove of an alteration or improvement?
A.Homeowner associations (HOAs) are generally given wide latitude and can base their decision on many subjective criteria so long as the HOA: (1) acts within the scope of its authority under the association's governing documents, (2) conducts a reasonable investigation; and makes its decision (3) in good faith (4) in a fair non-discriminatory manner; and (5) with the best interests of the HOA and the homeowners as a group in mind.
It should be noted that just because the HOA may have approved a certain alteration by a particular homeowner does not mean the HOA cannot later prohibit the same, or similar, alteration by another homeowner. condo, condominium, townhouse, townhome, town home, home owner association, condominium laws, condo laws, california condo laws, condominium codes, HOA laws
