How
to Communicate with the CZ Master Association (and
other HOAs)
May
6, 2007
Recently a CotoBuzz
contributor received a stupid lawyer letter stating
that the CZ Master Association board would no longer
accept his requests via email.
A HOA resident addressed
a similar question to LA Times Associations
columnists Glassman & Vanitizan. This time
however, the homeowner’s preferred communication
was via snail mail: “The
board keeps telling me they sent me an e-mail and if
I didn't get it, then that's my problem. I rarely
receive the board transmissions, so I've asked them
to stop e-mailing me. I want only hard-copy
communications, but the board refuses, saying they
can send out notices in any medium they want. Is
that true?”
– LA Times Associations column E-Mail-only
policy doesn’t fly, May 6, 2007
The columnist’s
response: “Absent
that written request, the board must communicate in
one of the other ways permitted by Civil Code
section 1350.7, which titleholders should review
very carefully. It is the owner's responsibility to
be aware of them and request a particular method of
delivery….
Titleholders should make their preferred method
of delivery known in writing to the board in a way
that is well documented.”
The
official version of Civil Code section 1350.7 can
be found at http://www.leginfo.
ca.gov . Click on "California
Law" and search the Civil Code for sections
1350 to 1378.
