Board service is not dependent upon marital status. Board service may be dependent upon ownership -- name on the deed, for example.
Your governing documents are specific about the requirements for board service.
Ask your board of directors for a copy of the lease form they prefer that you use.
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.
Read your governing documents to determine the qualifications for board membership. Usually, this is condominium ownership. If your spouse is not 'on the title' for the unit as a legal owner, make this clear when nominating the spouse for board membership, which may disqualify him/her. Another option would be to add the owner's spouse to the title.

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.
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.
Regardless of the state where the property is located, the governing documents spell out the term of each board member. After a term expires, it's necessary to be re-elected, in order to continue to serve on a board.
There's a difference between 'high-school politics' and valid differences of opinions, and both can be evident in condominiums. Directors who complete their emotional banking at the expense of association business are best sidelined. Passionate, knowledgeable directors who campaign in the best interests of the association are best preserved. Knowledgeable, informed and engaged owners are encouraged to attend board meetings and to read board meeting minutes. Send a letter to the board requesting an open owners' period on the agenda, and state the issue in this public forum. Be prepared to give concrete examples of how 'battles' harm or benefit the association. As well, request that the board vote to either discuss association matters openly and knoweldgeably in open board meetings, or keep petty differences out of the conduct of assocation board business. Your governing documents address the removal of directors, if that becomes adviseable among the owners willing to remove directors.
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.
The condo was a gift to you so your spouse has no claim to it.
In a few words, generally no. You can read your governing documents to determine what you own in common with all other owners, including common area, common elements and limited common areas/ elements. As an owner you are obligated by your governing documents to pay for the preservation, protection, and maintenance -- including improvements -- of all real estate elements that you own in common with all other owners -- by way of your assessments. If you do not understand how you are responsible to pay a full assessment for the services supplied to your community and its assets, by way of your board of directors, you can discuss it with your board or with your association manager.
The unit owner can contact the board of directors to determine whether the interior of the unit is covered by the master policy, or not. Otherwise, the owner can contact their HO-6 insurance provider to determine coverage.
