We do not make jokes, we simply watch the LA Times, the Orange County Register and the Coto de Caza Board of directors and report the facts!

Homeowner Association (HOA) Lawyer Factoids

April 21, 2007

The Davis-Stirling Act is a part of the California Civil Code. In the Davis-Stirling Act:

The term "attorney fees" is codified/mandated: 22 times.
The term "homeowner" is merely mentioned: 3 times

Is it any wonder that we see so many stupid lawyer letters floating around HOA board of directors?

Is it any wonder that the CZ Master Association board has been using an unprecedented number of stupid lawyer letters?

Might this the reason why we have filed six different complaints with the California Bar against attorneys associated with the CZ Master Association for violations such as:

Rule 1-120. Assisting, Soliciting, or Inducing Violations
Rule 3-310 Avoiding the Representation of Adverse Interests
Rule 3-110 Failing to Act competently
Rule 5-100. Threatening Criminal, Administrative, or Disciplinary Charges

Does this give you an idea as to how effective the industry's lobby is, AND, where their priority $s are?

Is this the reason why CZ does not have direct elections as the state legislature mandates?

While the homeowner has a vested interest in his property, the industry has NO bona fide vested interest in anything other than a pay check through a contract.
