Summary

The bill adds new civil‑code sections that make any rule, covenant or policy that blocks a resident from installing, upgrading, or using a cooling system in a common interest development unenforceable. It applies to owners, renters and mobile‑home park residents and prevents associations from charging fees, mandating specific equipment, or receiving rebates for such work, except when prohibited by law or lacking a required permit. Violations expose the association to actual damages and a penalty of up to $2,000 plus attorney fees.
