Yeah, that's written into the paperwork too. They have a certain length of time to get the HOA info to you, and you have a certain length of time by which you have to approve of the HOA info and remove that contingency.

The main reason it's there is that if the HOA is not handling its finances well, that could have a serious, major impact on your property value and your personal finances. So you wanna take that seriously.
