HOA Ruining Your Life? 10 Unenforceable HOA Rules—and How You Can Fight Back

Living in an HOA community can come with great benefits like well-maintained amenities and neighborhood events, but it may also include absurd or unenforceable rules. Some HOA boards overstep their authority by violating legal boundaries or enforcing rules inconsistently, which can open them up to liability or lawsuits. Homeowners have rights protected by state and federal laws, such as the right to fair housing, privacy, and reasonable rule enforcement. If an HOA violates these rights or its own CC&Rs, residents can challenge the rules, request hearings, and even take legal action.
