This is often be subject to state laws and the specific language in your association's governing documents. There isn't a universal rule, and practices could vary.
From a practical standpoint, it can be essential for potential candidates to have access to a list of unit owners, so they can introduce themselves, share their platform, and build support for their candidacy. However, privacy concerns could be raised, and regulations around the distribution of such lists may vary.
As part of the Daisy property management team, I've noted that some condo associations do provide a list of names, but often without personal contact information, to maintain privacy. It's often best to arrange opportunities for all candidates to present themselves to the owners in a meeting or via a broadcast.
Remember, it's crucial to refer to the specifics of your association's bylaws and potentially seek legal counsel to ensure fairness in the process as well as compliance with any relevant laws.
If the association is a corporation -- and in most states, this is true: associations are usually non-profit corporations, the state may require that the corporation have a board of directors.
Without a board, it's unclear how an association could operate the business composed of the multi-millions of dollars represented in the collective investment in real estate.
Read your governing documents to determine whether committees are required or optional.
The language may read "...the board shall have committees " -- required; or the language may read " ...the board may have committees" -- optional.
Your answer depends on who you are.
If you are running for the board, you may not automatically be given access to this list, unless the secretary has kept a list. In this case, the list is one of the association's documents, and as an owner, you have access to all business documents of the association.
As part of the election package, there should be no list of all owners.
If you are not an owner, but are being elected as a paid board member, you may not be given access to the names you want.
You can address a letter to the board of directors of a condominium association, and use the mailing address of the association. This might be the president's address, or the address of the management company.
Fiile a noise complaint with the Condo association and if that doesn't work, the local police department.Added: Loud noises from whom or what? The Condo Association MAY have control over some annoyances but for others you may need the police (as advised above). Speak to your Condo Board of DIrectors to see if they can assist you.
It's possible that the condominium association carries liability insurance. You can make your claim with the board of directors of the association, who will take it up with their insurance carrier.
No. An association's board of directors can make it difficult for someone to 'walk away' from a unit, by implementing fines and making them personal debts, and so forth. There is no situation during which an association can 'keep someone from moving out'.
When you write 'association', you are referring to a person. Without a person, the 'association' has no voice with which to make any claims. If the person sits on the board of the association, then the person is part of the association -- as are all of its members. The person is a director and/or officer of the association. The association cannot act independently of a person, a board -- some physical entity. In the case of a claim against the association, persons from the board will be involved in the claim resolution, the directors and/or officers. The D&O coverage covers people who hold these offices in the association.
Read your governing documents to determine the service period for all directors of your association.

Ask your board of directors for a copy of the lease form they prefer that you use.
In this situation, it is important to address the conflict between the two condo directors by promoting open and respectful communication.

Mediation or conflict resolution techniques can also be employed to help them find common ground and work towards a harmonious collaboration for the benefit of the condo.
Read your governing documents and determine under which provision your condominium is being foreclosed.It isn't the maintenance company doing the foreclosing, it's the association's board of directors, perhaps through the maintenance or management company.A condominium unit can be foreclosed upon by the association for non-payment of assessments, which owners are legally bound to pay.
Your association manager or board may be able to answer your question.
This information is typically defined in the association's governing documents and can range widely based on local laws and specific association guidelines. In some cases, there may not be specific residency requirements while in others, a board member might be required to use their unit as their primary residence. It's always best to refer directly to your condo association's governing documents or seek legal counsel for accurate information relevant to your specific situation.
