Can a California HOA Stop You from Speaking at a Board Meeting Because Your Topic Isn’t on the Agenda?

In this HOA Q&A, pioneering homeowner-side HOA attorney, Michael Kushner, explains why a board cannot cut off a homeowner during open forum simply because the topic is not listed on the meeting agenda. 🎯 What You’ll Learn in This HOA Q&A:✅ That Civil Code § 4925 guarantees members the right to speak at board meetings.✅ That Civil Code § 4930 allows homeowners to address any matter within the HOA’s jurisdiction during open forum and how the agenda requirements of the Open Meeting Act do not apply to members.✅ Why boards cannot silence a member early, or direct management to do so, based on disagreement with the topic. Homeowners have the right to speak during open forum on matters within the HOA’s jurisdiction, and that right cannot be limited by the agenda or cut short based on the board’s subjective preferences. 🎧 📞 If you enjoyed this Q&A, please like and subscribe to HOA HELL.
