Rancho Cucamonga HOA members can require Internal Dispute Resolution (IDR) under Civil Code 5910 and pre-litigation ADR under Civil Code 5925 before filing most lawsuits.
The Davis-Stirling Act gives members two structured dispute resolution tools before court. Civil Code 5900-5920 establishes Internal Dispute Resolution (IDR), which the HOA must offer at no charge. Either member or board can request a meet-and-confer conference with a board designee; the written decision is binding on the association if the member accepts. Civil Code 5925-5965 requires Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) such as mediation or arbitration before most lawsuits involving the CC and Rs, bylaws, or Davis-Stirling. The Request for Resolution must be served in writing and the other party has 30 days to respond. If accepted, parties must participate but cannot be forced to settle. Costs are split equally unless otherwise agreed. Foreclosure, small claims, and emergency injunctive relief cases are exempt. San Bernardino County Superior Court is the typical venue for cases that proceed to litigation. Prevailing parties can recover attorneys fees in some actions under Civil Code 5975.
