Description

Your HOA is breaking the rules, but can you report them to a state agency in California? In this HOA Q&A, attorney Michael Kushner explains why there’s no state oversight body for HOAs, and what legal options homeowners actually have when the board violates the law. 

🎯 What You’ll Learn in This HOA Q&A:

✅ That the Department of Real Estate and Attorney General don’t handle HOA complaints.

✅ What enforcement tools homeowners do have.

✅ How civil legal tools are the only real path to accountability. 

Michael explains what frustrated homeowners discover too late: there’s no “HOA police”—which is exactly why MBK CHAPMAN exists.
