HOA responsibilities for homeowners being sexually harassed by other homeowners (CA)

Homeowner associations are notorious for issuing notices for the smallest infractions, so why are they silent when it comes to sexual harassment?  The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (“DFEH”) receives and investigates fair housing complaints based on numerous protected statuses. In 2017, a total of 212 claims were filed that alleged sex or gender discrimination. Though sexual harassment protections are already included in state law (Cal. Gov’t § 12900. et seq.) and federal law (24 C.F.R. 100, et seq.), DFEH has proposed amendments to its regulations regarding sexual harassment and the role of the homeowner association. (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 2, §§ 12000-12271). The proposed rules are expected to be in effect starting April 1, 2019.   Read the article……………………..
