Undisclosed Hoa Legal Recourse

Summary

If you discover an HOA before closing on your home sale, you have the right to demand disclosure of HOA details and potentially delay the closing. If the HOA was not disclosed when you purchased the property, you may have a claim against the seller or realtor. Consult a local real estate attorney for specific guidance.
