We always allowed residents some leeway with decorating their doors, especially with wreaths. Our rules say nothing is allowable outside resident units. A problem tenant has gone too far with an elf hanging from a noose. He says if he must remove the elf, everyone has to remove their wreaths. Is that true? Also can we remove the elf ourselves and hold it in the office until after the holidays?

What is best practices for the board president dealing with vendors directly with out the manager present on the calls and/or emails? Our president argues it is the best way for the BOD to negotiate and monitor vendor progress. Our manager says that’s their job.

If there is a disagreement between the board and manager how to present a report, who is the report represented from? Meaning if the manager is uncomfortable are they obligated to present the report as the board directs (on behalf of the board) or may they insist the board present the report themselves?
