Neighborhood pools, gyms and clubhouses are closed. These are amenities most homeowners pay for in their HOA dues. Now, some of you want to know if you will get a break or a refund for the amenities you can not use.

Some of them believe that, if they (the HOAs) get a fine from the state for breaking drought laws because they want the gardens watered during drought restrictions and get fined by the state or actual law enforcement, they believe that the fine is recoverable from the homeowners themselves and not the board’s own personal coffers - even try to force court costs out of them and lawyers’ fees and suchlike! It’s one thing for them to have to pay the fine for breaking the law, but, in their mindset, they think that they should not be out the money - they believe that they can either make that homeowner who “caused” them to be out of pocket reimburse the HOA for the fine and related costs, or increase the dues to offset it - totally forgetting that a fine is a punishment for breaking the law and cannot be claimed as expenses or whatever - there’s no insurance you can get against being fined - you can’t claim off that! Thank goodness we don’t have homeowners’ associations here in Limey-land - most housing estates are either council ones or housing association ones - or managed by a landlord - anyone who owns their own property lives in a remote location, for the most part!

@@arthurvasey unfortunately they are well with in their right, lot of hoas have a subclass in the contract in which you sign stating that you the home owner is liable for any actions taken against the hoa. One hoa I know of was sued when they failed to maintain a swing set on their property which they owned, they lost a 20 million dollar case which they just passed off to the home owners. Every home owner was on the hock for 80,000.

Thank you. My HOA kept the pool closed. In may 2023, this year they checked the pool and said it was in need of repair. . Then when it opened they locked us out. The locks are "repaired' but the gate was broken so the un housed use our indoor showers that have new locks. And probably the pool too all at night. So for years they've been charging us for that pool But yet it's been locked up most of the last five years I've been here and they keep talking about closing it down.

I never thought I'd agree with an HOA, but if the state has required certain amenities be closed, and the operating cost remains roughly the same, then I don't think anyone is entitled to a refund. If the HOA decides to close the amenity, then they should provides refunds.

HOA's simply aren't required by law to return those fees. While they should on moral and ethical bounds, they simply aren't required to. The maintenance costs don't simply go away because everything's closed and that's the one thing people don't understand. Refunds might be issued if the amenities were being denied to some homeowners but allowed for the rest but this isn't the case.
