About
This Course
As the housing crisis continues to swell in California, more and more homeowners are turning to common interest developments (“CIDs”) and their associated homeowner associations (“HOAs”) to find affordable housing, and the legislature has taken action to encourage these shifts. As a result, the law of CIDs is ever-changing, and any lawyer who advises clients on real estate matters should be familiar with the latest legal developments that hit closest to home. This program offers a review of the most important and salient developments in CID and HOA law over the course of the past few years, whether it pertains to living within an HOA framework, governance and management within the HOA, or litigating on behalf of or against an HOA.
