Two new CA housing laws effective Jan 1. SB 808 fast-tracks court review of housing permit denials (45-day hearing, quicker decisions). AB 1050 lets market-rate projects remove restrictive covenants blocking housing.

This week RJR's Jay Drake breaks down key HOA changes under CA's AB 130. The new law caps most fines at $100, bans add-ons like late fees, adds “right to cure” rules, and tightens hearing timelines. Boards, managers & developers should update enforcement policies to comply.

In Wang v. Peletta (2025), the court denied both prescriptive and equitable easements for an unpermitted retaining wall built in violation of county law. Encroachments that are public nuisances can’t be granted as an easement. More on our website!
