C.A.R. LEGAL HOTLINE
The C.A.R. Legal Hotline is a free service for members seeking confidential legal advice about real estate issues. Members may use the hotline if they have questions about contract interpretation, arbitration, litigation, tax issues, commission disputes, disclosure requirements, fair housing issues, HOA laws, and more.
Attorneys are available Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM PST; Saturday, 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Due to limited staffing on Saturdays, the hotline is restricted to (213) 739-8282 and only questions related to active transactions.
INSTRUCTIONS
Whether you submit questions by phone, online, email, or fax, please keep your descriptions brief (2-3 short paragraphs; maximum 2,000 characters). The system will cut off messages longer than 2,000 characters. However, you may provide more detailed information when you speak directly with a C.A.R. attorney. You will need to have your NRDS ID number for identification.
Note: When the hotline is flooded with inquiries you may experience a delayed response–from several hours, to days. Your patience is appreciated.
