If you are requesting money damages only, and your claim is at or below the jurisdictional limit, I suggest small claims court. Small claims court is quick, inexpensive, informal, and requires no legal knowledge. Both parties are forbidden to be represented by attorneys in small claims court. For details, contact your local court. For matters exceeding the small claims court jurisdictional limit, or if your requesting relief other than money (an injunction, for example), you will need to sue in the court of general jurisdiction (Superior Court or Circuit Court--name varies by state). See an attorney for details.

You didn't buy your home subject to a HOA but now your neighbors want to establish one. What are your rights?
You have the right to evaluate their proposal -- the pros and the cons -- and make your decision. Forcing you into an HOA may require a court order. It would be easier for the community to grand-father your future owners into an HOA, and again, this may require a court order. Once you have copies of your options, you can consult with a common-interest-community-savvy attorney who can better help you understand your particular rights in this particular situation.

How old do you have to be to go to court to switch guardians?
I think that your current guardian and the one that you want would have to work it out by personal agreement or in court. They are the ones who make the decisions until you reach the age of consent--which is 18.
What happens when two foreclosures are filed on a property one by the lender and one by the Homeowners Association several months later. Which one takes priority?
The answer depends on the laws in your state. Some states give HOA liens special priority (super lien status) and places them before a mortgage that was recorded first. In that case, the mortgage company will generally pay the overdue fees if the HOA threatens to foreclose on its lien.If you are not in a super lien jurisdiction and the first mortgage is foreclosed, the HOA lien would be wiped out.

A tenant claims that the HOA has plugged into their outside sockets at least one a month for 15 minutes for 5 years. They want 50.00 for the electricity used. Do they have a legitimate claim?
They may have a legitimate claim but that would require an honest response from the personnel who was using the power regularly unless the tenant has some proof. The tenant would need proof to win a lawsuit. However, the HOA should make a good faith offer if the tenant's account is true and the outside power source should be off limits to the HOA from now on.
If one senator is suing another senator what court would hear the claim?

Why is appellate court so important?
An appellate court -or appeals court- is where one would take their case if they wanted a retrial for any reason.
Can a HOA lock out a tenant if home owner has unpaid HOA fees?
In several words: Yes, and It All Depends. The governing documents must specify that locking out a tenant is one option it can execute -- and one that is well known, documented and legal in your state -- to leverage an owner who does not pay assessments into paying them. If, however, the tactic is not well known, documented and/or legal in this state, the tenant may have a cause of action against the HOA. In this case, the owner enjoys a revenue stream from the unit, which has its operating expenses paid by assessments. So it's reasonable that the HOA use the relationship with the tenant to leverage payment of assessments. Locking out the tenant should be one of the final acts that the HOA takes, after notifying the owner of being in arrears, denying the tenant access to amenities, filing a lien on the unit's title, calling the owner and asking for payment and even stepping into the revenue stream, so that the assessments are paid to the HOA by the tenant's rent. It's also possible that the HOA can sell the unit to recover the monies owed by the owner.
