homeowners' association dwelling actions

HB 2713 requires homeowners' associations (HOAs) to follow specific procedures before filing lawsuits against sellers or contractors for construction defects in residential properties. It mandates that HOAs provide written disclosure to all members and affected contractors detailing the nature of the claim, costs, and potential impacts before holding a meeting where defects are presented and remedies can be offered. HOAs must also secure approval from at least two-thirds of members through their community documents before proceeding. This bill directly affects HOAs, homeowners, and construction professionals by creating new transparency and approval requirements for dwelling-related legal actions. It does not change statute of limitations periods but adds procedural safeguards for HOA litigation.
