Legal Aspects of California Condominium Law

August 8

Gain the knowledge needed to interact with a California community association as an attorney or helping manage a California community association as an owner.

In the U.S. in 2020, over 73 million people lived in over 351,000 community associations. California had the most associations in the U.S. with 49,000. Therefore, whether you are an attorney dealing with associations, or someone who lives in one or is thinking about purchasing a unit in one, you need to understand the general complexities of California community association law. In this course, you will learn the powers and duties of a California association. You will also learn the rights and responsibilities you will have as an association owner. Finally, you will learn how a progressive state like California prevents the abilities of California associations from unreasonably restricting State policies intended to address climate change and increase affordable housing.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to describe the governing documents of a California community association.
  • You will be able to discuss how California law prohibits the ability of California community associations from unreasonably restricting the application of important State policies to association residents.
  • You will be able to explain the typical powers and responsibilities of a California community association.
  • You will be able to identify the various ways in which disputes between California community associations and its members can be resolved.
