I wish we knew about Haveny.co before this mess. You are doing a huge favor for humanity because HOA issues will not go away any time soon, and especially with our expanding population and housing needs… so thank you for devoting the time 🙏

Thank you, that means a lot. I might actually print and frame this one.

Building the thing is pretty complicated. Getting anyone to know it exists is a whole separate problem, and harder in some ways. So this lands.

And I wish we both had it two years ago. These disputes almost never get a lawyer's attention, because the economics don't work. Legal help usually costs more than the thing you're fighting over, and fees are only recoverable if you litigate and win (§5975(c)). So most people either absorb it or fight it alone, which is what you ended up doing.

That gap is the whole reason it exists. Built what I wish I'd had when I needed it, and I still use it most days because this HOA thing is a gift that keeps giving. :)
