Water Intrusion in California HOAs (Part 1)

When water leaks into your home, most homeowners are told one of two things: the HOA has to pay for everything, or go through your own insurance. Both answers are often wrong. In Part 1 of this two-part HOA HELL episode, attorney Michael Kushner breaks down why water intrusion disputes are so common in California HOAs, and why bad boards and managers give oversimplified answers that can cost homeowners thousands of dollars. This episode focuses on the issues every homeowner needs to understand before accepting responsibility, filing an insurance claim, or letting the HOA control the narrative after a water leak. What You’ll Learn ✅ Why water leak disputes in HOAs are more complicated than most homeowners are told. ✅ Why understanding the difference between separate interest, common area, and exclusive use common area is important in water leak disputes. ✅ Why where the water came from matters more than where the damage shows up. ✅ How the Davis-Stirling Act’s default HOA rules apply when CC&Rs are silent. ✅ The common myth surrounding who’s responsible for leak-related damage to your personal property. This episode also walks you through why “studs-in versus studs-out” shortcuts are unreliable, why the source of the leak drives responsibility, and why HOAs are not automatically responsible for all damage inside your unit just because water came from a roof, pipe, or exterior wall. You’ll also learn why homeowner actions after discovering a leak can make or break a claim, and when HOA conduct can shift liability for damage that otherwise would not be covered. Part 2 will build on this discussion by covering insurance issues (including the importance of HO-6 policies), deductibles, relocation costs, mold and remediation, HOA delay tactics, and the legal claims that arise when HOAs mishandle water intrusion cases.
