California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 4 — General Provisions, Part 5 — Common Interest Developments, Chapter 10 — Dispute Resolution and Enforcement, Article 4 — Civil Action, Section 5975
(a) The covenants and restrictions in the declaration shall be enforceable equitable servitudes, unless unreasonable, and shall inure to the benefit of and bind all owners of separate interests in the development. Unless the declaration states otherwise, these servitudes may be enforced by any owner of a separate interest or by the association, or by both.
(b) A governing document other than the declaration may be enforced by the association against an owner of a separate interest or by an owner of a separate interest against the association.
(c) In an action to enforce the governing documents, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
Notes
Establishes declaration covenants and restrictions as enforceable equitable servitudes benefiting and binding separate-interest owners unless unreasonable, with enforcement by owners or the association unless the declaration provides otherwise. Allows other governing documents to be enforced between an association and an owner, and requires reasonable attorney’s fees and costs for the prevailing party.
