Your HOA just changed the rules. Did they even do it legally?
Most homeowners have no idea what vote percentage their own HOA bylaws require for a rule change. We analyze your documents to find the real number.
You're being governed by rules you never agreed to
Your HOA board sent a notice about a new parking rule or rental restriction. But what if they didn't get the 75% vote your covenants require? Or what if they didn't give you the 30-day notice the law demands? You're stuck following a rule that might be invalid, and you have no way to know.
- Your governing documents are a 100-page mess of legalese from 1985
- The board president says 'we have the votes' but won't show the tally
- You suspect they counted proxies from people who didn't even get the meeting notice
- State law might require a higher percentage than your HOA thinks

Upload your HOA's governing documents. Our AI reads the bylaws, covenants, and state statutes to tell you the precise threshold for a valid rule change and whether the board followed procedure. No guesswork.

- Know the legal notice period for the meeting and the rule change itself
- Identify if proxy voting or cumulative voting rules were broken
- Get a plain-English summary of what the board *actually* needs to do to fix it

The numbers don't lie
What homeowners are saying
"Turns out our HOA needed a 67% vote for architectural changes, not the simple majority they claimed. We got the meeting minutes and the math was all wrong. Sent the report to the board, they rescinded the rule. Insane."
"I was so mad about the new rental restriction. Paid $400 for a lawyer to just tell me 'maybe.' This app found the exact clause that said they had to mail the notice 45 days ahead, not 30. They missed it by 5 days. Rule is void."
"Our board keeps changing the pet rules. The AI pointed out that our CC&Rs say any rule change needs a 'vote of a majority of the entire membership' not just the people who showed up. Huge difference. They've been doing it wrong for years."
