In this episode you will learn: • CC&Rs are private land use controls that are recorded in the deed and run with the land to bind all future owners. • In a conflict between public zoning and private CC&Rs, the more restrictive requirement always takes precedence. • Covenants are promises where violations lead to injunctions or damages, while conditions carry the risk of title forfeiture. • Enforcement is handled privately through HOAs or neighbors, and the doctrine of laches can prevent enforcement if delayed too long. • Any private restriction that violates Fair Housing laws is illegal, unenforceable, and considered void.
