Can Your HOA Change the Rules Without a Vote? What California Law Actually Says

In this episode of HOA HELL, attorney Michael Kushner explains how rulemaking works in California HOAs and when HOA boards must go to the membership for a vote. The discussion covers where rulemaking authority must appear in the governing documents, the steps to legally adopt or change operating rules, and the separate category of actions that require secret-ballot membership approval. 🎯 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ How rulemaking authority must be in the CC&Rs or Bylaws and why rules cannot conflict with higher documents. ✅ How a rule is legally adopted, including the notice-related timelines. ✅ How certain HOA board actions require a membership vote (e.g., increasing special assessments beyond a certain level, transferring common area into exclusive use common area, etc.). ✅ How to respond if an HOA violates the law. These procedures determine whether a new HOA rule is enforceable and when the board must ask owners for approval. Understanding the notice periods, voting thresholds, and challenge options gives homeowners a clear path to hold boards accountable. 🔔 Subscribe for more full-length episodes and shorts to help you fight back against abusive HOA practices. 📚 Tired of your HOA’s abuse?
