Your classic disagreement with a neighbor can be settled in an open board meeting, if is not settled earlier through the association's own dispute resolution process.

Apparently, you have received an official Notice of Violation, which must quote the section of the governing documents that you are violating. The section should cover 'view rights', which is apparently the basis of your neighbor's complaint.

In the association's resolution process, you should be allowed a hearing where you can present evidence of your ongoing use of your deck. If your Notice simply cites a 'grill violation', you can ask why the grill violation has not been enforced in the past.

Your complaining neighbor will also be afforded hearing rights, to present the case about the obstructed view caused by your grill.

Be aware that the decision of the hearing board may be final.

If there is no conflict resolution process detailed in your governing documents, you can write a letter to the board detailing your position, and requesting an entry on the board meeting agenda. Also request a discussion. Then request that the board vote on the matter. This resolution will be final.

Which prevails an individuals' right to protect property or a homeowners associations rules?

When you purchase property in an association, you agree to abide by the covenants, conditions, regulations and restrictions -- CC&Rs -- established for the association. The association's responsibility is to protect, maintain and preserve its real estate assets. There may be 'rules' established by the board, which must conform to the CC&Rs, and must be enforced by the association. When the association fails to protect your property, you may be required to protect it yourself. If you find yourself in a position to protect your property, because the association has failed to protect it, best practices dictate that you establish and confirm the facts involved in your situation and take your evidence to a common interest community-savvy attorney who can help you protect your property. There is no standard answer to your question.


Can a condo association not allow you to own an electrical car because they are denying your access to electricity?

The association cannot prohibit your purchase, but may be able to deny you charging privileges. It's sad that the association denies you access to electricity, which you could consider unreasonable. As well, a consideration for charging is one of the items on your check list before you purchase the car. Is there a way you can run electricity that you pay for out to your automobile? Finally, you could start a petition or campaign to encourage the association to establish a charging station or two on your property.

How do you get out of a home owners association when your builder-developer is going bankrupt?

You cannot necessarily separate your property from a home owner's association because the developer is in bankruptcy. If the remaining property is sold to a new developer it would acquire all the rights appurtenant to the land including sponsorship of the homeowner's association. When you purchase a property in a planned community you are automatically a member of the association. Unless the association is dissolved, you will remain a member as long as you own the property. Depending on how many lots were already sold you may need to bring an action in court to have the homeowner's association extinguished. The homeowner's association was intended to protect the rights of anyone who purchased a lot in the subdivision and until something changes legally it would remain effective. In some cases, the association simply becomes idle when there are not enough members to support it. However, even in that case, the property remains subject to the HOA until it is dissolved. In other cases where the development is not brought to completion all the lot owners can agree to disband the HOA. They need the advice of an attorney who specializes in real estate to guide that process. Generally, HOA funds are kept separate from the assets of the developer. If the funds were co mingled, when your builder-developer files for bankruptcy, your association's attorney may be able to preserve rights, monies and other assets of the community.
