Over the past few years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of rental properties in Arizona, including short-term/vacation rentals. At least once a week, I am contacted by a Board regarding problems with a difficult tenant not following the Association’s documents. Therefore, discussing the rights of the board and the community association as it pertains to restricting or regulating rental properties is an extremely relevant topic for HOAs and condominiums.
Welcome to the 2022 Virtual HOA/Condo Academy series! This is class #9, "Rental Restrictions" featuring Beth Mulcahy, Esq. This virtual seminar is possible thanks to the cities of Avondale, Chandler, Glendale, Goodyear, Mesa, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Surprise and Tempe.

Welcome to the 2022 Virtual HOA/Condo Academy series! This is class #7, "HOT TOPICS for HOA and Condos in 2022" featuring Beth Mulcahy, Esq. This virtual seminar is possible thanks to the cities of Avondale, Chandler, Glendale, Goodyear, Mesa, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Surprise and Tempe.
What’s On Today’s Agenda?
HOT TOPICS is one of my favorite classes to teach (and very fitting to discuss during the summer) because it allows us to really dive deep and take a closer look at the most important and pressing topics pertaining to community associations.
In preparing to teach this class on hot topics in 2022, we monitor various news sources throughout Arizona, common questions we receive from clients and interested homeowners, monitor new legislation and new cases to compile a list of the most pressing and relevant topics pertaining to HOAs and condos. Today, we’ll address ten HOT TOPICS that cover a wide range of issues.
As always, there will be a free Q&A at the end of the class.
Notice: Due to technical issues there are portions of this episode that have audio artifacts and distortion. We apologize for any inconvenience.

This virtual seminar is possible thanks to the cities of Avondale, Chandler, Glendale, Goodyear, Mesa, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Surprise and Tempe.

Then we will talk about the unique relationship between the Board of Directors and their management company. We will then move on to discuss a question I often receive – are we required to hire a licensed contractor?

As always, there will be a free Q and A at the end of the class.

Welcome to the 2022 Virtual HOA/Condo Academy series! This is class #4, "Tips on How to Handle Difficult and Disgruntled Owners" featuring Beth Mulcahy, Esq. & Haidyn Dilorenzo, Esq. This virtual seminar is possible thanks to the cities of Avondale, Chandler, Glendale, Goodyear, Mesa, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Surprise and Tempe.
What's on the agenda? We are going to start today’s class with an exciting update from the 2022 session of the Arizona Legislature. This year’s session has been open for three months and in the past several weeks we have seen two bills relating to community associations get signed into law. I’ll give a summary of both bills and their effects on HOAs and condominiums.
We are also going to discuss a new decision by the Arizona Supreme Court pertaining to amending CCRs.
The main topic for today’s class is all about how to deal with difficult people. We like to say that serving on your community association’s board of directors can be a thankless job that often comes with having to deal with conflicts and complaints from homeowners. Today we’ll go through some tips and tricks for handling difficult and disgruntled owners including how to deal with conflict during meetings, strategies for responding in a difficult situation and how to stop harassment.
As always, there will be a free Q and A at the end of the class
*Note: Due to technical difficulties, there are some audio drop-outs at various times of this recording.
