§ 7351 Member Dues And Resignation

Key Takeaways

  • •A company can charge its members fees if the rules say so.
  • •If you don’t want to pay, you can quit the company right away.
  • •You still have to pay if you agreed to it in a contract or because you own property tied to the company.

Example

You join a neighborhood club that charges yearly fees. One day, they say fees are going up.

If you don’t like the new fee, you can quit the club right away and not pay it. But if you own a house in the neighborhood and the rules say you must pay fees to live there, you can’t just quit—you still have to pay.

§ 7351 Member Dues And Resignation

A corporation may levy dues, assessments, or fees upon its members pursuant to its articles or bylaws, but a member upon learning of them may avoid liability for them by promptly resigning from membership, except where the member is liable for them by contract, as a condition to ownership of an interest in real property, as an obligation arising out of the ownership of an interest in real property, or otherwise. Article or bylaw provisions authorizing such dues, assessments or fees do not, of themselves, create such liability. (Amended by Stats. 1979, Ch. 724.)
