What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
California.
I am the owner of a townhouse in a 17 unit complex and 4 of the units do not have balconies including mine.
The HOA has decided to rebuild all the 13 balconies and has voted in a special assesment of $ 4000 to all unit owners.I protested after paying this with the monthly fees along with the other three unit owners that do not have balconies and that we should not have to pay as we do not have any balconies.The HOA refused and had even hired a lawyer to read and interpret the CCRs to us and has backed the HOA.The CCRs also state on one page that "the maintainence of the balconies is the responsibilitiy of the unit owner".Indeed,two of the balconey owners have already repaired their own balconies at their own expense.
Please advise if I have a good chance in small claims court against the HOA for suing them for $ 4000.
Thank you for your advise.
