What is the process for changing the rules and regulations of a condo association?

The process for changing the rules and regulations of a condo association in California is generally outlined in the association’s governing documents. First, the association’s governing documents must provide a specific method for making changes to the rules and regulations. This could include a board of directors vote, landlord signature, written consent, or a vote of the owners. If the governing documents do not provide a specific method for changing the rules, California Civil Code Section 1354 requires the association’s board of directors to call a meeting of the members and give written notice of the proposed change. The notice must include the proposed change, the records of the meeting, and the date and time of the meeting. The members must then discuss the proposed change and vote on it. If two-thirds of the members vote in agreement, the rule change is adopted. If these procedures cannot be followed, California Civil Code Section 1356 allows an association to change the rules and regulations by a unanimous members’ vote. The board of directors must first call a meeting of all the members where the new rules and regulations are written and read aloud. All members then vote on the proposed changes, and if the change is accepted by all members, the change is adopted. In either case, the adopted change must be included in the association’s governing documents and mailed to all members upon adoption.
