APPEALS COURT MAKES IT CLEAR EVEN TO A SMALL HOA: ALLOW ACCESS TO THE ASSOCIATION’S OFFICIAL RECORDS OR FACE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES
In a recent ruling, the Appeals Court sent a strong message to all homeowners’ associations (HOAs), regardless of size, emphasizing their legal obligation to provide homeowners access to the association’s official records. The case serves as a wake-up call, particularly for smaller HOAs, which may be more informal in their operations, mistakenly believing that they can withhold or delay access to essential documents.
The court made it abundantly clear that every homeowner has the legal right to inspect and obtain copies of key records, including financial statements, board meeting minutes, contracts, and correspondence related to the association’s operations. Failing to comply with these legal requirements can result in significant penalties.
