Can My California HOA Make Me Pay for Balcony Repairs?

Your HOA just sent a letter demanding $50,000 per household for balcony repairs, with 90 days to pay. How did the bill get this big, is it even legal, and is there any way to make someone other than you foot it? In Part 2 of this series on California's Balcony Law (SB 326), attorney Michael Kushner, considered by many in the industry to be the #1 homeowner-side HOA attorney in California, follows the money from why these special assessments are so massive to whether you can fight back. What You'll Learn in Today’s Episode: ✅ Why these balcony assessments keep exploding into the tens of thousands of dollars.✅ The "emergency" loophole bad HOAs use to skip your vote.✅ The hidden trap that can make your home impossible to sell.✅ Whether you can force your HOA’s insurance to pay instead of you.✅ The legal shield a lot of HOAs hide behind, and when it shatters. By the end of today’s episode, you’ll understand where your money is really going and what your options are when the bill is this big, straight from an HOA lawyer who exclusively represents homeowners, never HOA boards.  🎧 📞 If you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe to HOA HELL.
