Who Gets to Pick the Location for an IDR in California HOAs?

In this Q&A, attorney Michael Kushner explains who controls the location of an Internal Dispute Resolution meeting in California HOAs and why neither the homeowner nor the board gets to dictate it under the Davis-Stirling Act. 🎯 What You’ll Learn in This HOA Q&A:✅ Who has authority to select the location for an IDR under Civil Code § 5915(b)(4).✅ What “mutually convenient time and place” legally requires from both homeowners and HOAs.✅ How homeowners should respond when an HOA refuses to agree to a reasonable IDR location. Attorney Michael Kushner grounds this discussion in the IDR framework established in the Davis-Stirling Act (at Civil Code § 5915) by explaining how the law limits both sides and requires good-faith cooperation on the logistics of selecting a location for an IDR.  🎧 📞 If you enjoyed this Q&A, please like and subscribe to HOA HELL.
