Your question may depend on the amount of money involved in the matter.
Generally, condominium board members are volunteers; condominiums are gossip hot spots; some condominium boards behave in unprofessional ways, possibly because there is no mandate that they be professionals.
If you have evidence that supports a different position or a different set of facts, you can present them to the board.
If the board chooses to ignore your evidence, you can take it to an attorney who represents owners and request that the attorney send a letter to the association correcting the statement, based on your evidence. Further, requesting that the statement be corrected in the board meeting minutes.
"...A rule by the tenants" can have many interpretations. For example, are the foxes -- tenants -- running the hen house? Or, are there too many rented units? Are tenants making rules? Whatever the complaint, take it to the board in writing and show that there is a violation of the governing documents. Ask for time on the next board meeting agenda to explain your complaint. The board is then chartered to correct the issue, if there is a violation.
No. The management company implements policy. It is the Board of Directors, responsive to the will of the members, that sets policy. It's the difference between the butler and the homeowner!
In Canada, the legal age to enter into a contract, such as a lease for a condo, is 18. Minors under 18 would require a co-signer who is of legal age to be responsible for the lease agreement. Additionally, it is important to check with the condo association or landlord to confirm their specific age requirements for tenants.
(In America, anyone can pretty much sue anyone for most any reason.) The association is a corporation. Your governing documents and the state association law govern their responsibilities, limitations and actions. If you believe -- and have evidence -- that the association's board has acted illegally, you can sue them. You can find an association-savvy attorney willing to take your case, and begin there with your stories, proofs and evidence. However, in the case of the association, remember that if you are an owner, some of your assessment dollars are being used by the association to defend itself against your suit.
He apparently was killed when he fell off the balcony of his condo which was on the 24th floor. Police ruled it a suicide, but his family believes it was a suicide. I suppose we will never know the real deal.

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).

There are two episodes of Frasier where Frasier is involved with the condo committee, however I don't think he ever actually managed to get on the condo committee itself. The first is in Season 4, episode 11: Three Days Of The Condo. In that episode Frasier runs against the president of the condo board after she refuses his request to have an antique door knocker. The other is in Season 10, episode 3: Proxy Prexy. In this episode Frasier gets Martin to run for condo board president but using Frasier's ideas.

Your association manager or board may be able to answer your question.
Yes, in Connecticut, a spouse can serve on the board of a condo association as long as it is not prohibited by the association's bylaws or state laws. It's always a good idea to review the specific rules and regulations of the condominium association to ensure compliance with any restrictions on board membership.
The concept is called 'conflict of interest', especially if your position on the board benefits you financially through your business.
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.
"This depends on the type of condo, the housing market, and where in Seattle it is located. The average price for a middle range style condo can be around 250k and monthly cost will depend on you mortgage statements and you deal with the bank."
