Can My California HOA Spray Pesticides Near My Home?

from HOA HELL · host Michael Kushner

A rare childhood cancer cluster in Ladera Ranch has parents pointing at the pesticides their HOA sprays across the common areas. In this episode, HOA attorney Michael Kushner, California’s most experienced homeowner-side HOA attorney, uses that crisis to dig into the questions every California homeowner should be asking.  How much power does your HOA have to decide what chemicals get sprayed where your kids play, and what information should homeowners be entitled to regarding the nature of those chemicals?  This isn’t about the toxic tort lawsuit. It’s about the rights homeowners have today, and whether the Davis-Stirling Act should give them more. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: ✅ Your HOA’s right under the Davis-Stirling Act to spray pesticides across the common areas.✅ The detail most HOA landscaping contracts leaves out.✅ Whether a Ladera Ranch homeowner has to disclose the cancer cluster when they sell their home. ✅ The limit on what a homeowner can demand when they want the spraying stopped near their own home.✅ The new Civil Code 5200 right attorney Michael Kushner wants homeowners to have when it comes to identifying chemicals sprayed in HOA communities. If you’ve ever wondered how much say your HOA has over the chemicals used in your community, and what you’re entitled to know about them, this episode lays it out and asks whether the law should give homeowners more. Helpful Links: “Can My California HOA Spray Pesticides Near My Home?”https://mbkchapman.com/hoa-spraying-pesticides-fact-sheet/ 🎧 📞 If you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe to HOA HELL.
