CATHERINE REAGOR REAL ESTATE

A record number of Valley residents are losing their homes with missed dues as low as $1,200

Tracking HOA foreclosures Ask anyone living in a neighborhood managed by an HOA, and you will likely hear a rant. h It could be about anything from fights over paint colors to parking or garbage cans. h HOAs are one of the most controversial topics I have covered during my 22-year tenure as a real-estate reporter in metro Phoenix. h Half of all Valley homeowners live in a community association; many people have strong opinions about them. h I hadn’t delved deeply into the world of HOAs before this year because many of the issues were community stories. h But last year, complaints against HOAs in the Phoenix area ratcheted up. I started hearing from homeowners with HOA issues almost daily. h Arizona Republic community reporter Jessica Boehm has written many stories about HOA battles in the West and East Valley, and she quickly became an expert. h Late last year, Boehm began to hear about homeowners losing houses to HOAs through foreclosure, something most people don’t realize is legal.

CHRISTOPHER COMBS Q&A

Phone call is sufficient notice to inspect a property, but is not best practice Question: I own several rental properties in Chandler.

Under the landlord-tenant statutes in Arizona, I know that I have the right to inspect any of my rental properties with at least two days’ notice to the tenant.

I recently received a newsletter stating that this inspection notice can be in writing, in person, or over the phone. I understand notice in writing or in person, but is a landlord allowed to give the inspection notice by phone?

Answer: A.R.S. § 33-1343 simply says that “notice” is required, so notice by

phone is authorized.

Although an inspection notice by phone is authorized, if the tenant denies receiving the inspection notice by phone, and refuses to allow you access, you would have the burden of proof in court to show that notice by phone was given to the tenant.

Therefore, rather than a phone call, a

text is better.

If there was ever any question in court about notice, you would have a screenshot of the text to show the court.

AZ Real Estate

Reagor Continued from Page 1R

I am, unhappily, a foreclosure expert because of the housing crash. So we teamed up and have spent the past six months investigating HOA foreclosures.

It wasn’t easy. Before 2014, there were so few HOA foreclosures that no one was tracking them.

We looked for a state agency that regulated HOAs and found there isn’t one.

The Arizona Department of Real Estate began handling arbitration between HOAs and homeowners last year, but unfortunately it can’t help people facing foreclosure.

“While so many professions and places are regulated — from Realtors to pet cemeteries — community managers and HOAs have no such oversight by the state,” said Boehm. “This made it difficult for us to navigate this expanding industry.”

And HOA foreclosures aren’t filed like regular foreclosures that can be tracked through real-estate records.

Half of an HOA foreclosure is filed as a court document and the other half is a real-estate record.

So we built a comprehensive database of all the HOA records, with help from The Information Market.

Our investigation found HOAs were foreclosing on a record number of homeowners for as little as $1,200 or a year of missed dues.

We also found out who those homeowners were, what HOAs were foreclosing the most, the attorneys who handled the most foreclosures for HOAs, and the investors who bought the HOA foreclosure homes at auction.

And we were shocked by some of the legal fees being heaped on homeowners who weren’t making their payments.

From the beginning of the investigation, we had a hunch more HOAs were foreclosing because Valley home values are up, and investors are now lining up to buy the houses. Three or four years ago, Valley homes were worth much less than they are now.

We went to several HOA Sheriff’s auctions in downtown Phoenix. The room was packed with bidders because there were so many more bargains among HOA foreclosure homes on the block.

We reached out to dozens of homeowners who were in danger of losing their house to foreclosure or already had. Some didn’t want to talk to us because they were embarrassed; others were angry and wanted people to know their stories.

MARK HENLE/THE REPUBLIC

Marie De Sanna sits in her Chandler home earlier this year.

TOM TINGLE/THE REPUBLIC

Attorney Jonathan Dessaules talks about foreclosures and HOA fines at his office in Phoenix.

All the homeowners we spoke to said they feel bad about not being able to pay their HOA fees and want to catch up and keep their home.

A pretty horrible recession and realestate crash from 2008 to 2011 forced many of these homeowners into tough

choices. Sometimes it was whether to pay HOA dues or buy food.

Almost every homeowner we spoke to was shocked their HOA could foreclose.

Most people don’t know it’s legal, even though it’s in the covenants, conditions and restrictions homeowners sign when

they close on their home purchase — often buried in those many pages of rules.

I have never lived in an HOA. Boehm, who now covers the city of Phoenix, grew up in an HOA community and bought her first house in a neighborhood with an HOA. “I had no idea the amount of power these associations have until Catherine and I started getting calls from people who were about to lose their homes,” Boehm said.

“I’ve been covering basic HOA issues for years — things like paint colors and quarrels between neighbors. But I was shocked that there was a more serious underlying issue.”

Boehm and I are looking into other HOA issues besides foreclosures. We have talked extensively with the Arizona Association of Community Managers.

We know HOAs serve a needed purpose for many homeowners.

But not all HOAs are members of that industry group — only about 60 percent — and Valley homeowners in a dispute with a community association have little recourse but to lawyer up.

We started with the HOA foreclosure issue because of its severity for homeowners. But we know homeowners are confronting many other issues. Please contact us if you have a story to share.

Question: I have all kinds of

Editor’s note:

plumbing problems in my home.

The owner refuses to repair the plumbing problems. He says that I am responsible for the plumbing pursuant to our agreement. It does say in the agreement that I am supposed to repair any plumbing problems. I did not really see that part in the agreement when I signed it. I do have an agreement to purchase the property as well. The owner says that the Landlord and Tenant Act does not apply. Do I have to repair the plumbing myself?

Answer: Under a contract for sale, if there is language that indicates that the tenant is responsible for plumbing problems, then pursuant to A.R.S. 33-1308 that lease is excluded from the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Therefore, the tenant must repair the plumbing if it so states in the lease.

Readers who have non-emergency, general landlord-tenant, fair housing or multi-housing real estate questions can mail them to: The Arizona Republic c/o Rental Team, 200 E. Van Buren Street, Second Floor, Phoenix, AZ 85004. While all cannot be answered in this weekly column, we will attempt to publish those questions that would be of interest to most readers. For specific or urgent advice, consult your own legal advisors before making a decision. Legal Q&A participating attorneys: Scott Clark (602) 957-7877

AZRentals COURTNEY GILSTRAP LEVINUS RENT SMART

HUD requires public housing to go smoke-free in a year It is a new day in public housing agency multi-housing and single-family homes.

Over the next 10 months PHA homes will become safer and healthier with the implementation of smoke-free policies. Units will also be easier to maintain and turn over.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s final rule requiring public housing to implement a smoke-free policy,

by July 30, 2018, represents a huge step toward protecting the health of millions of

Americans and tens of thousands of Arizonans. This rule will provide safer living environments and shield residents from secondhand smoke in their homes.

Secondhand smoke hurts everyone. According to the U.S. Surgeon General’s Report: The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke, there is no safe amount of secondhand smoke. It contains hundreds of toxic chemicals, approximately 70 of which cause cancer. Even breathing secondhand smoke for a short amount of time can be hazardous to one’s

health, as exposure also increases the risk of disease and lung cancer.

Beginning in 2009, HUD committed to encouraging PHA’s and property owners/ agents of subsidized or market-rate multifamily housing to implement smoke-free policies. Smoke free policies reduce property maintenance costs, unit turnover time and the risk of fires.

The Arizona Multihousing Association and Arizona Smoke-Free Living has been extremely successful in creating more smoke-free living in multi-housing environ-

ments across Arizona and are excited to be able to support HUD’s commitment to ensuring healthier living for low income families.

The Arizona Multihousing Association is the statewide trade association for the apartment industry, representing more than 2,000 members in legislative, legal and regulatory matters. They provide services, products, educational programs and networking opportunities to promote ethical, quality rental housing throughout Arizona.
