HOA-Homeowner Battles Can Result In Large Fee Exposure
We do not really need to get into the specifics of Mustafa v. Mountain View Park Homeownerss Assn., Inc., Case No. E063529 (4th Dist., Div. 2 Aug. 8, 2017) (unpublished), but the end result in sobering for purposes of our blog. Basically, homeowner lost a gnarly dispute against a HOA, with HOA obtaining a whopping award of $1,881 in damages. But, just saying, HOA also obtained a fee award of $201,750 as prevailing party, which was affirmed in entirety when the appellate court agreed with the trial court conclusion’s across the board. Ouch!
