The Homeowner-First Playbook: How to Push Back on a Bad HOA (Before You Lawyer Up)
Description
Most HOA disputes don’t start in a courtroom—they start with a confusing letter and a lot of emotion. In this episode, Luke and Marty break down a practical approach for homeowners: adopt a clinical voice, build a bulletproof paper trail, use the CC&Rs to frame the issue, spot selective enforcement, and, in California, leverage Informal Dispute Resolution under the Davis-Stirling Act. We also outline the red flags that mean it’s time to consult an HOA lawyer—think lien threats, foreclosure letters, and chronic ghosting. Nothing here is legal advice; it’s a roadmap to help you steer your dispute with clarity and leverage in CA & FL.
