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.
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.
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 board or the association manager can answer your question.
Ask your board of directors for a copy of the lease form they prefer that you use.
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.
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.
