AARP HOA Bill of Rights

David Kahne, a Houston ACLU attorney, who won the notable Brooks v. Northglen HOA case, has written on a HOA Bill of Rights for homeowners. Such a document has been absent from all CC&Rs going back to the Homes Association Handbook, TB #50, for the mass merchandising of planned communities, published in 1964 by ULI with the help of federal agencies.


David Kahne's 69 page report can be found here:

Many HOA advocates are acknowledged by David. The cover page reads:
