<P class=MsoNormal>Client, HOA, wants to amend CC & R’s. However,
before spending the money, the Board wants to know are amendments
enforceable? This is always a tricky question. Had one case where
HOA wanted to ban Airbnb rentals. However a home owner, within the
association, said they bought the house as an investment and a source for
retirement funds. They would not agree with any amendment that stopped
them from leasing their home. I know there are cases on rentals, both
short term and long term that deal with this type of amendment. I also
know amendments that deal with tree/bush height are causes for big bonfires with
the board being burned in effigy. Are there cases out there that
acknowledge that most CC & R’s have provision for amendment, and everyone
who buys into the area knows that and are subject to it. Where is the line
drawn? What have been your experiences with amending CC & R’s and HOA
Bylaws for that matter.<o:p></o:p></P>
