Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 For those that are familiar with the web site " ahrc.com " - American Homeowners Resource Center, it has been broken into which is why the site has been down for such a long time. AHRC has sent the following message asking that this be forwarded; Dear AHRC subscribers, friends and viewers: Because of the nature of this break in we cannot provide any details. However, with the work of our providers and administrators we are making progress and will have all of the AHRC websites back online shortly. We appreciate your patience and will keep you posted. Please forward this message to all your networks and groups. Thank you. The Staff AHRC News Services AHRC consists of a group of advocates fighting for the rights of homeowners who live in homeowner associations. Most people are unaware that in the purchase of a condominium or any deed-restricted property, many basic rights are forfeited. An example of just one of those rights given up is the right to judicial foreclosure. This means if an association sees fit whether in error or not, they have the legal right to take a home in a foreclosure without going to court [non-judicial foreclosure]. Some of these foreclosures have been due to accounting errors on the part of the association. Homeowners battling both mold and their associations have lost their homes in non-judicial foreclosures. These homes were in turn sold to new buyers that others profited from. The only recourse a homeowner has in a non-judicial foreclosure [if they can even afford an attorney at this point] is to sue the association. By the time their case is even heard, their home is long gone. Because of the endless supply of funds available to association attorneys there are very few plaintiff attorneys willing to get involved in homeowner association cases. AHRC and others have been fighting for over a decade to stop non-judicial forecloses. In another area of homeowner rights, I have followed a lawsuit with a series of articles on AHRC that I have written on behalf of a group of seniors at Leisure World. This is a case whereby these residents challenged their association when they were refused their right to inspect the association books and records. The seniors recently prevailed in court. This decision has now impacted all other litigants in HOA's throughout California as well as impacted all homeowners in California HOAs. There is now case law reinforcing compliance with the Civil Codes of the -Stirling Act. This would include the right of homeowners to obtain books and records relating to mold problems at their HOA.
