Homeowner Hassles: Dealing With Nuisance Violations
Continuing Education Credit Available
Managers and board members are often unsure about whether their association has to enforce an alleged nuisance violation that may be impacting only one homeowner, such as cigarette or marijuana smoke, noises from hard-surface flooring in a unit above or unpleasant odors.
Despite the general advice of attorneys that community associations should not bring legal action in neighbor-to-neighbor disputes, even if the dispute involves a violation of the CC&Rs, the community association may need to get involved. This webinar defines what constitutes a nuisance and the role of an association in these kinds of disputes.
