Water Intrusion in California HOAs (Part 2)

Water intrusion disputes in HOAs don’t turn into major disputes for just one reason. Some are disasters from the moment water enters a unit. Others spiral because of what follows, such as disputes regarding insurance, deductibles, remediation, relocation, mold, and delays.  In this Part 2 of 2, attorney Michael Kushner breaks down the post-leak events that turn water intrusion events in California HOAs into expensive and drawn out disputes. The focus is on what happens after water enters a home and how insurance, deductibles, relocation, remediation, mold, and HOA delay interact to create new damage and new exposure. What You’ll Learn.✅ How HOA master policies and HO-6 policies interact and where gaps create problems.✅ Why deductible responsibility depends on governing documents, not HOA shortcuts.✅ When relocation costs fall on homeowners and how HOA delay can shift those costs back.✅ Why water intrusion does not automatically mean mold, and when remediation becomes a health issue. In this conclusion to his two-part episode on water leaks in HOAs, Kushner explains how delay after notice can create new damage, new expenses, and new exposure that did not exist at the outset. This episode also covers the concrete steps homeowners should take to document problems, push for action, and protect themselves when an HOA minimizes, stalls, or mishandles a water intrusion event. 🎧 📞 If you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe to HOA HELL.
