(moneywise.com) — Condo owners at San Clemente's Villa Moura complex are facing more than $26,000 each in roof assessments that their HOA labeled an "emergency," bypassing a member vote. Residents are challenging the move under California HOA law, organizing a board recall, and weighing legal action—offering a cautionary example for any San Clemente homeowner living under an association.
