We want to add an additional clubhouse. The majority of the board says as this falls under CCRs and no owner input is required. My concern is this is a multi-million project. Can this decision be held against me down the road in I vote yes with out owner input?
Our residents are great, but getting older. Our association staff is happy to help them occasionally with lifting items, reaching for high items and even getting back up sometimes. Someone communicated to us that our staff is covered by the “Good Samaritan Law”. Does the fact that the staff receives tips matter?
If a community is split into three distinct condominium boards, under the control of a master board of directors, may one of the distinct condominiums split from the master board with the approval of the required amount of owners from that distinct condominium?
We have an investor who is very behind in maintenance fees. We’d like to take away his tenant’s parking in our garage and not allow them to valet park also. This would make it very difficult for them to live here. May we impose these restrictions on an owner’s tenants?
A fellow board member, in my opinion, has been treating one of our residents unfairly. It does not go beyond illegal activity, but it is close. This resident has reported the board member to the local authorities and management company. Expressing my opinion unofficially to the board member has not provided this resident any relief. What else can I do in my official and unofficial capacity, and am I putting the association at any risk by taking or not taking action?
I am the recently elected President of a new town home community, which still has 2 developers on the board? Our bylaws state that once the community is 75% settled, a special election meeting can be requested to be held within 60 days to elect residents to the spots now held by the developers. I have requested the meeting by email to the management company and the developers, but to date nothing yet..
… From some articles I’ve read, it seems that the homeowners should have an attorney for the transition. Is this absolutely necessary? It has also come to light that the developers have been paying some bills through the HOA account which I believe to be developer bills for selling homes and not HOA bills; however, I was waiting for the board to be entirely homeowner-controlled before asking for access to past bills that have been paid. Do I need an attorney at this point? I have been looking online for the proper procedure to follow to request a special election of the HOA Board, but cannot find anything.
