	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 918, Vidak. Common interest developments.
   Existing law, the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act,
defines and regulates common interest developments, which are managed
by homeowners' associations.
   This bill would require the owners of the separate interests in a
common interest development to annually provide the association with
specified written information for the purpose of receiving notices
from the association.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 4041 is added to the Civil Code, to read:
   4041.  (a) An owner of a separate interest shall, on an annual
basis, provide written notice to the association of all of the
following:
   (1) The address or addresses to which notices from the association
are to be delivered.
   (2) An alternate or secondary address to which notices from the
association are to be delivered.
   (3) The name and address of his or her legal representative, if
any, including any person with power of attorney or other person who
can be contacted in the event of the owner's extended absence from
the separate interest.
   (4) Whether the separate interest is owner-occupied, is rented
out, if the parcel is developed but vacant, or if the parcel is
undeveloped land.
   (b) The association shall solicit these annual notices of each
owner and, at least 30 days prior to making its own required
disclosure under Section 5300, shall enter the data into its books
and records.
   (c) If an owner fails to provide the notices set forth in
paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (a), the property address shall
be deemed to be the address to which notices are to be delivered.
