What are my rights in a condo association?

In California, both condo owners and their associations have rights and responsibilities. As a condo owner, you have the right to use and enjoy your property in accordance with the condo association’s rules and regulations. You also have the right to expect that your condo association is properly run, and that your dues are being used to maintain and improve the property. The condo association also has rights and responsibilities. They have the right to enforce their rules and regulations and to collect dues from the members. Additionally, they have the responsibility to protect the common property by maintaining it, insurance, and making any necessary repairs. You should also be aware that both owners and the association have a duty to be respectful and civil to each other. The association is required to provide adequate notice of meetings, decisions, and changes to the rules. Similarly, all condo owners should remain respectful of their neighbors and the common spaces when using their condo. When in doubt, it is best to always refer to the association’s rules, regulations, and bylaws to understand your rights and responsibilities. You can also discuss concerns with your condo association if necessary.
