What is the dispute about?

Check everything that applies.

We generally do not take disputes that are mainly about unpaid assessments or collections, unless you want to take the dispute through the state mediation process on a fixed-fee basis. Please continue if that is the case.

Is this mainly about assessments you owe, late fees, or collections?

No Yes, mainly that

Please choose one.

Where do things stand?

I received a warning or courtesy notice I received a violation notice and a hearing is offered or scheduled I have been fined My account was sent to collections or a lien was recorded A lawsuit has been filed None of these

Please choose one.

Date of the most recent notice or decisionApproximate is fine.

Hearing date, if one is scheduled

What happened?

Which rule or provision does the association say applies?Copy it from the notice if you can. Leave blank if the dispute is not about a rule.

If you received a violation notice, is what it describes accurate?

Please choose one.

Describe what happened Five to ten sentences. Stick to what happened and when. Dates, amounts, and what is in writing help most.

Please describe what happened.

What documents do you have?

We cannot begin a review without the governing documents. Check what you can provide.

Do you have a copy of the CC&Rs (the declaration)?

Yes, and I can upload or email them Yes, a paper copy No, I do not have them

Please choose one.

That is common, and it is fixable. Please continue. Our guide to getting your governing documents explains where to find them, and we will remind you by email. We can start the review as soon as we have them.

Rules and regulations Architectural or design guidelines Violation notices or letters from the association Hearing notice or hearing decision Account ledger or fine statement My emails and letters with the board or manager Photos or video Meeting minutes or agendas Evidence that others were treated differently

Besides your own account, what proof is there?

Documents, letters, or emails Photos or video Other people who saw it It is mostly my word against theirs

Please choose one.

Disputes that rest on one person's account against another's are very hard to prove. You can still submit. If you have any letters, emails, photos, or records at all, attach or mention them.

Attach documents (optional)Up to about 8 MB in total. CC&Rs are often larger than that. If so, submit without them and reply to our email with the file.

What is at stake, and what would resolve it?

About how much money is at stake?

Fines, fees, the cost of what the association wants you to change, or the cost of what it will not fix.

Please choose one.

For a dispute of this size, hiring a lawyer usually costs more than the dispute itself. Please submit anyway. We will point you to self-help letters and the state's own process, which you can use without a lawyer.

What are you looking for?

In one or two sentences, what would a fair resolution look like?

Please tell us what you are hoping for.

What have you already done?

Do you already have an attorney for this dispute?

No Yes

Please choose one.

If your matter qualifies

If we can help, how would you prefer to pay the fixed fee?

Please choose one.

Thank you for telling us. Please submit anyway. We will send you our self-help letters and guides, which are free.
