A Letter
Attorney General, Senators, Congressmen all say "Hire An Attorney"

No one in the State of California will answer a simple question on one of their laws

LaGrange, California -

I live in Lake DonPedro homeowners association in California.

The CC&Rs that I signed, state that our dues shall be no less than $5 a year and no more than $70 per year, and also that it shall take 2/3 vote of membership to change anything in the CC&R,s.

In 2003 our board raised the dues to $84, now this year to $100. The board claims that the Davis Stirling Common Interest Development Act allows them to do this.

I do not read that in Davis Stirling - I read that this applies if there are no governing documents, and I guess the CC&Rs are governing documents.


My real problem is that I have written to the Attorney General, Senators, Congressmen, and if I get any reply, it is "Hire an attorney".

I read on the internet that the Department of Fair Housing and Employment was in charge of Davis Stirling. When I contacted them they said they never heard of the Davis Stirling Act.

You would think that if the State of California can pass a law affecting their citizens, there would be someone to answer a simple question on one of their laws.

Does a common interest law override existing CC&Rs?

Maybe someone out there can point me in the right direction other than "Hire an Attorney"..
