Can My California HOA Ban My Kids From Playing in the Common Area?

In this HOA Q&A, California’s #1 homeowner-side HOA attorney, Michael Kushner, explains whether HOAs in California can ban kids from playing in the community’s common areas. One family got hit with a proposed rule that pushes their kids off every grass area in the neighborhood, leaving nothing but the private streets.  So is an HOA allowed to do that, and what happens when the only place left to play is the one place that’s actually more dangerous? 🎯 What You’ll Learn in This HOA Q&A: ✅ The baseline right every owner and their kids have to use the common area.✅ Where an HOA can legitimately limit play, and where it crosses the line.✅ How a play ban can collide with fair housing protections for families. For any California parent watching their board try to push their kids indoors, this is the one to watch. Helpful Links: “Can My California HOA Stop My Kids from Playing in the Common Areas?”https://mbkchapman.com/california-hoa-common-area-play-fact-sheet/ 🎧 📞 If you enjoyed this Q&A, please like and subscribe to HOA HELL.
