This second edition of the pioneering Hyatt and French Community Association Law coursebook is an ideal vehicle for introducing students to this increasingly important subject. From housing just 2 million Americans in 1970, common interest communities had grown to house 57 million, or 19% of the American population, by 2006. Community associations, which manage these communities, bear similarities to not-for-profit corporations, municipal governments, and trusts, but are different. The evolving body of community association law draws from all these fields but reflects the unique character and needs of common interest communities. Reflecting the expertise of its authors, the book combines academic rigor and practical knowledge. Primary materials include important cases, statutes (including proposed revisions to UCIOA), the Restatement (Third) of Property, Servitudes, and references to the growing body of literature on gated communities, co-housing developments, private governments, and other property regimes used to avoid the tragedy of the commons in groups that hold common property.
'Texas Homeowners Association Law'' includes more than twenty-five sample forms for use by Texas homeowners associations and homeowners, as well as a table of authorities and subject index to assist readers in quickly identifying applicable topics by key words or subject matter. In addition, with more than 2,500 annotations and citations to Texas and Federal statutes and appellate court decisions, "Texas Homeowners Association Law" is also an indispensable tool for property managers, realtors, and attorneys who work with association-governed communities in Texas.
Community associations enforce rules and restrictions to ensure a high quality of life for residents and to preserve property values--not to harass residents. Rules are there to prevent homeowners from painting their houses pink or storing washing machines in their yards--but those same rules should not become overzealous or inflexible. "Be Reasonable" shows you how to write and enforce rules that won't get your association in trouble and won't cause residents to hold recall elections. "Be Reasonable" is a compendium of expert opinions from over 30 leading community association attorneys, managers, and directors. You'll learn effective strategies for drafting and enacting reasonable rules, identifying unreasonable rules and restrictions, and working with residents. You'll also find out more about reasonable enforcement procedures--from making exceptions to providing due process. Practical applications are illustrations through discussion of court cases and real-life controversies. Some of the topics include: Writing Reasonable Rules, Understanding Rules and Restrictions, Reasonable Enforcement Strategies, Mediating Disputes, Levying Fines, Controversial Rules and Restrictions, Children, Holiday Decorations, Satellite Dishes, Vehicles, and Eliminating Unreasonable Rules.
