HOA HELL

In this HOA Q&A, California’s leading homeowner-side HOA attorney, Michael Kushner, addresses what happens when your home insurance is not renewed due to wildfire risk and why more homeowners are being pushed into California’s FAIR Plan. 

🎯 What You’ll Learn in This HOA Q&A:

✅ What the California FAIR Plan is and when homeowners are forced to rely on it.

✅ How FAIR Plan coverage differs from a traditional homeowners policy.

✅ Why a gap can exist between insurance coverage and real-world rebuilding costs. 

As more homeowners are forced out of the private insurance market and into last-resort coverage, the real issue is not just access to insurance, but whether that coverage aligns with the financial reality of rebuilding after a catastrophic fire loss, like those suffered by homeowners who lost everything in 2025’s Altadena, Eton, and Palisades fires.

In this HOA Q&A, California’s leading homeowner-side HOA attorney, Michael Kushner, addresses the question of whether an HOA can block a condominium owner from installing solar panels on the common area roof based on concerns like potential water intrusion. 

🎯 What You’ll Learn in This HOA Q&A:

✅ Whether condo owners have the right to install solar panels on a portion of the common area roof.

✅ What types of conditions HOAs are allowed to impose on condo owners who want to install solar panels.

✅ Whether your HOA can rely on “water leakage risk” to deny your solar panel installation. 

California law gives condominium owners meaningful rights when it comes to installing solar panels, even on a common area roof, and while HOAs may impose some conditions on such installations, they may not prevent homeowner from using a portion of the condominium’s roof to install solar panels.

In this HOA Q&A, HOA attorney Michael Kushner, the pioneer in homeowner-side HOA law in California, explains why HOAs cannot block homeowners from installing solar panels on their roofs and what limits California law places on the restrictions that HOAs are allowed to impose.  

🎯 What You’ll Learn in This HOA Q&A:

✅ The role that Civil Code §§ 714 and 714.1 play in protecting homeowners’ solar rights.

✅ The hard limits on HOA restrictions on solar energy.

✅ What happens if your HOA fails to act on your application within the approval deadline. 

California law strictly limits HOA authority over solar installations, and any restriction that increases cost, reduces performance, or delays approval beyond statutory limits is illegal. 

Kushner has written extensively on this subject, so if you’d like to learn more about your rights to install panels on your home, check out the following Fact Sheets:

Thinking about dissolving your HOA? 

In this episode, California’s foremost expert and homeowner-side HOA attorney, Michael Kushner, explains that while dissolving your HOA is certainly possible, the reality is far more complicated.

🎯 What You’ll Learn in this Episode:

✅ Why dissolving an HOA is legally possible but rarely achievable in the real world.

✅ The surprisingly high approval requirement that stops most dissolution efforts before they get off the ground.

✅ The role that various third parties can play in preventing dissolution.

✅ What happens to common areas, liability, and ownership during and after dissolution.

✅ Why actually succeeding in dissolving an HOA almost always amounts to trading one problem for a worse problem. 

This episode cuts through the misconceptions and shows why dissolving an HOA almost never solves the underlying problem, but instead, most often makes things worse than they were.
