No money exchanged. I pay all the utilities year round.

Here is the remaining text of the 4 page document detailing this CCR for those interested. Are my friends who are housesitting considered subtenants?

I may choose to fight it through arbitration. I expect that the HOA has an arbitration process. If I can go through this process without incurring financial cost I might do this. Many arbitrations are set up like this and put the cost of the process on the HOA. In the mean time, I will fill out...

Maybe the question I should be is asking is, do my friends meet the legal definition of renters? The HOA is reporting a violation of the rental restriction policy. I’m not versed in the legal definition of a renter. I always thought it would be the exchange of money for use of a property But I...

What is the name of your state? California Last week I got a call on my personal cell phone from a collection agency trying to collect on my mom's debt. They never identified who they were or what they were doing. They just asked if they could talk to her. I did a reverse lookup on the 800...
