Q:I’m confused between “rules” and “CC&Rs.” Our board, over the years, has implemented new rules. What I don’t understand is: How is this different than making changes to the CC&Rs, which would require homeowner approval? For example, the board passed a rule that prohibited playing sports in the street. When I bought my house, there was no such prohibition. Now, after my kids started playing sports in the streets, they prohibit it. I didn’t get to vote on this, and had it been in the CC&Rs when I was contemplating my purchase, I would not have bought in this neighborhood because they obviously were not “children friendly.” Do I have any recourse? Can the board just implement new rules whenever they want?    Read the Q&A………………………….
