Homeowner Association (HOA) Mediation:
The rules and guidelines of the HOA are set up in what is often referred to as the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). New buyers are usually given this document prior to home purchase so they know what guidelines to follow such as prohibiting bad behavior, how to maintain uniformity of the property, obligation of how to maintain the condition and value of the property.
What most people don’t understand or realize is that the HOA contract states that mediation must first be attempted to resolve issue(s) prior to litigation.
