In California “harassment” includes conduct that seriously alarms or annoys another person, and that serves no legitimate purpose.
Harassment by your HOA, or neighbor, can take many forms. For example, your HOA might be harassing you if it selectively enforces the CC&Rs or rules and regulations, breaches its fiduciary duties, discriminates against you, or fails to maintain or repair common areas, or worse, tries to force you to pay for its negligence.
Harassment might include:
- Selective Enforcement of CC&Rs or Rules & Regulations
- Failure to conduct a proper investigation
- Failure to comply with notice and hearing requirements
- Excessive fines (including late fees, and attorney’s fees)
If you are being victimized by your HOA, its Board, or your neighbors, you may have legal options available to you. It may be time to take the fight to them.
