Your HOA wants to ban a specific dog breed—can they do that legally? In this HOA Q&A, attorney Michael Kushner explains the limits of breed-specific restrictions in HOAS permitted under California law, and when those rules cross the line. 🎯 What You’ll Learn in This HOA Q&A: ✅ When HOAs can impose breed restrictions—and when they can’t. ✅ Why bans must be based on credible safety concerns, not fear or bias. ✅ How breed bans that are too broad may violate Civil Code § 4715. ✅ What happens if you already own the dog before the restriction takes effect. Michael breaks down the difference between reasonable regulation and illegal or hysterical overreach—and how to tell if your HOA’s policy holds up. 🌐 📞 Want to talk to an attorney at MBK Chapman?

California law requires HOAs to maintain, repair, and replace all common areas—e.g., shared roofs, stairways, elevators, walkways, slopes, landscaping, roads, sidewalks, greenbelts, drainage systems, homeowner amenities, etc.. But many boards are delaying or outright ignoring that duty, even when conditions become unsafe. The consequences for such failures are significant, and include damage to property, personal injury, skyrocketing insurance premiums, and legal exposure for the board and the entire community. This article explains what California law actually requires, how to recognize the warning signs in your own community, and what legal tools homeowners can use to force action before severe consequences occur. 🌐 📞 Want to talk to an attorney at MBK Chapman?
