Escrow is moving fast and suddenly your HOA won’t release the resale disclosures, inspection reports, or demand statement. You did everything right, but now your deal is falling apart, and the HOA’s silence is threatening to put you at financial risk.
In this 1-Minute Attorney Tip, California HOA attorney Michael Kushner explains how sellers can enforce their rights when an HOA refuses to cooperate during escrow and why Civil Code section 5200 gives you the power to demand the documents your HOA is required to produce.
🎯 What You’ll Learn in This 1-Minute Tip:
✅ What to do when your HOA stalls escrow by withholding disclosure-related documents.
✅ Why the seller, not the HOA, is legally responsible for disclosures.
✅ How Civil Code section 5200 gives you the right to demand cooperation.
✅ When an HOA might be liable for the financial fallout of a failed sale.
Don’t let your HOA sabotage your closing. Use the law to protect your deal.
