Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: HOA Meetings

Unfortunately, HOA's carry a lot of power and, in many ways, are like their own independent government and police force. That being said, my best guess would be that they operated within their rights to exclude you as a non-owner. I would talk to your landlord, and see if he (or she) might attempt to resolve the matter on your behalf (i.e. take up your "case" before the board).. You do have other options available to you, but your statement of facts does not delineate the nature of accusations and harassments. Without more facts, it is impossible to answer your last question.

Re: HOA Meetings

Their CC&R's may state such a policy. However, you may have civil remedies against your neighbor depending upon the nature of the harrassment. Contact me directly.

Re: HOA Meetings

Contact your landlord if you are on good relations with him/her and see if they will help you; get a copy of the part of the CC&R's that the HOA claims prevents you from appearing to see what it says. You might point out to the HOA that if you have no right to appear to complain, then they have no right to impose upon you, as opposed to your landlord, any type of sanctions. That might cause them to change their minds.
