Typically its from a non-payment of dues. Yes, they can foreclose and yes, a court will award them the deed, still leaving you with mortgage payments. Next, the bank will foreclose on the HOA because you will stop paying for the house and your credit will be destroyed.

My advice, find out what you owe, pay it. If it goes to court, it will likely cost you an additional $7,000 in legal fees to the HOA lawyer save your home. Not including your own lawyer fees.

Also, see if the Board will accept a payment plan. You are on the hook for the due, possibly late fees, possibly interest, and the Boards attorney fees as well as any costs associated with court filings. If you have a cooperative Board, they might be willing to work with you. No reasonable Board wants to foreclose on a home if it can be avoided.

Usually you have about 20 days to submit and answer to the complaint (can vary by state) so time is of the essence.

Dennis CA has some strict laws regarding when a HOA can foreclose unless you are a serving service member, then you have some extra leeway.

Associations are allowed to record a lien but may not foreclose until the delinquent assessment is at least $1,800 or the delinquency is at least twelve months old. (Civ. Code ยง5720(b)(2).)

My advice is to pay your assessments which as someone else stated you may be able to work out a payment plan. Otherwise start looking for new digs.
