Pain Check

Is your HOA ghosting you?

  • You sent a request weeks ago — no acknowledgment, no reply
  • California law requires HOAs to respond within 10 business days
  • Phone calls go to voicemail, emails get ignored
  • The board only responds when it's about money owed to them
  • You need a paper trail before escalating to the state regulator
