Read your governing documents to determine your use of this area.
- If it is listed as part of your unit -- private -- the association cannot dictate your use, but may be able to dictate that you maintain it in a 'neat and tidy' condition.
- If it is listed as limited common area -- belonging to all, but accessible to fewer than all -- the association may be able to dictate your use. If your fruit trees were installed before the board 'changed the rules to prohibit them' -- for example, you can work with the board to grandfather-in your botany. The board may or may not allow you to keep them.
- If it is listed as common area -- meaning it belongs to all and can be used by all (which doesn't fit your description of 'private'), then the board can demand that you remove them.
Best practices dictate that the board work with resident owners to make living in your community as comfortable for you as possible. This enhances property values, and helps preserve, maintain and protect the association's assets.
There may be other issues over which there is no control, such as tree diseases and pest control that the board is obligated to enforce in order to preserve the community's landscape assets, for example.

Does the Illinois Condo Act prohibit board members to remove another from their position at any specific time?
The Illinois Condo Act does not specifically prohibit board members from removing another board member from their position at any specific time. However, it is recommended that board members adhere to the proper procedures and guidelines outlined in the condo association's governing documents when considering the removal of another board member. These documents typically specify the process for removing a board member and may require a vote by the unit owners.
What is the meaning of a condo board's right to peremptorily remove an office of the board?
Peremptory means something definite and absolute, final and not entitled to delay or reconsideration. By a vote of the majority of the officers of the condo board, IF THEIR DOCUMENTS ALLOW IT, they may remove one of the board members from the office they hold (i.e.: Pres/V-Pres/Secty/Treas). However, they do not have the authority to expel a member from the board itself. That action must be initiated by the general membership who elected the member to the board, or - they may be removed from the Board due to reason of action of law (e.g.: in some(all?) jurisdictions a member may be rendered ineligible to hold office and/or removed from office due to their conviction of a felony offense).

Is a board member of a condo required to live in the condo?
The requirement for a condo board member to be a resident of the condo is not universally mandated. It really depends on the specific by-laws of your condominium. Some condo by-laws state that board members must be owners, but not necessarily that they must occupy one of the units. Other condos require all board members to be owner-occupants, while some have no requirement at all. Having board members who are residents can be beneficial, as they will be directly invested in the quality of life within the building and more aware of the day-to-day issues that arise. At Daisy Property Management, we believe every board member, resident or not, can make positive contributions to a community when there is clear communication and strong teamwork. It’s always good to review your condominium's specific by-laws or consult with a property management professional to understand the rules specific to your community.
Your condo association president is trying to remove your parliamentarian because he does not like to be corrected Are there any guidelines for removing a board appointed parliamentarian who serves wi?
Your condominium association president is the leader of a multi-million dollar corporation. If your president 'doesn't like to be corrected', the remainder of the board can step up to require that board business be conducted by majority vote. Rarely are association presidents allowed -- and when they do, they do so at their own peril -- to make unilateral decisions and take independent actions.

How do you remove a condo board member?
Condo board members are typically not hired but elected by condo owners in the association. They are usually residents who volunteer their time to manage and make decisions for the condo community. In some circumstances, such as if the board cannot find enough volunteers, they can contract out some positions to non-owners, but this is not commonly practiced. And if handling board duties becomes a little overwhelming, engaging a modern property management company like Daisy might be a great choice. They can streamline many aspects of property management, making both board members and residents' lives noticeably more comfortable.
