ATTORNEY GENERAL AND HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION / NON-PROFIT MUTUAL BENEFIT CORPORATIONS

The Attorney General has authority under Corporations Code section 8216 to intervene, in appropriate situations, on behalf of members of a non-profit mutual benefit corporation (such as a homeowners association) who are denied certain specified rights. These rights include, for example, failure to:

•Provide a member access to books and records of the corporation

•Hold regular meetings of members

•Provide annual financial reports to members

•Provide a list of names and address of members

Other complaints may involve civil disputes in which the Attorney General has no statutory authority to intervene. You may wish to contact a private attorney if your complaint involves the following:

•Dispute over services or maintenance

•Request for an interpretation or legal advice on association rules

•Billing dispute or monetary claim you may have against the corporation

•Disputes between members and the governing body involving the capacity, competence, propriety, or wisdom of Governing Board decisions

After reviewing a complaint, and if appropriate, the Attorney General may send a "Notice of Complaint" letter with a copy of the submitted complaint to the corporation. We request that the corporation responds to both our office and the complainant within 30 days.

Many times our "Notice of Complaint" will be sufficient to prompt a response from the board of directors. However, you may wish to discuss your problem with your own private attorney.

We do the difficult immediately; the impossible takes a little longer

It is the fate of the Property Manager to toil at the lower employments of life; to be rather driven by the fear of evil than attracted by the prospect of good; to be exposed to censure without hope of praise; to be disgraced by miscarriage or punished by neglect, where success would have been without applause and diligence without reward. While others may aspire to praise, the Property Manager can only hope to escape reproach, and even this negative recompense has yet been granted to very few.

HOA Board Members may request log-in information to our Members Only area, which is packed with lots of very unseful information cannot be found anywhere else on the web

As Property Managers, we all have learned primarily

through our mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions

rather than by our exposure to fountains of wisdom and

knowledge.
