Congratulations to Stacey from Homeowner Association Services for guessing correctly and winning our April Fools Coverage Corner Raffle! In case you wanted to know the details on all those crazy claims and which one was the fake, here you go!
#1 (the rogue board president who was injured during a roof inspection) TRUE! That was actually a case study presented at the CAI Law Seminar in January.
#2 (The artesian well in a living room) TRUE! https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/03/10/award-in-santa-clara-hoa-lawsuit-is-largest-ever-in-california-after-extensive-deception-over-abandoned-well-under-condo/
#3 – This was the FAKE! While the circumstances are true for many associations, we don’t know of any claims that have been filed as a result. *knocks on wood*
#4 (collapsed storm drain) TRUE! That is actually a claim at one of Michael Berg’s associations in Southern California.
