On January 28, 2009, OAH adjudication of HOA complaints was declared unconstitutional by a superior court appeal, and reaffirmed on February 24, 2009. We lost a decisive battle in Arizona that denies homeowners a fair trial by an independent tribunal. It reflects a public policy not to protect homeowners living in HOAs.

There are too many opposing arguments that must be adequately addressed. Legal

Except for those cases involving a "black-letter" violation (a violation of an explicitly stated covenant, bylaw or statute), you must seek new grounds on the basis of equitable relief -- the court cases are, for the most part, in support of the status quo and loss of homeowner rights. You must approach any involvement from the point of view of an advocate seeking equitable relief from unjust laws, and justify that claim by providing strong authoritative support. For example, seeking relief from foreclosure or to restore homestead exemptions involves seeking equitable relief -- it's not fair -- using constitutional challenges. My AHLIS website was designed to point you in the right direction as an advocate seeking equitable relief. It does not provide simple answers.
