Hello hope that someone here can help. First off i am the president on the board here at the condos where i reside. I have been treated unfairly and accused of doing things that are untrue but that is not my main reason for this letter. The main reason for this inquiry is to help the residents here. Two of the board members have gone crazy with the "power" that they have being on the board. Have made decisions w/o all board members being notified,passing ammendments not voted on by the owners,locking out other board members including myself they say they where instructed by the atty yet no letter to this was ever received. The owners are furious to all that has happened and want this board to be dissolved immediatly. They have asked me what can be done since the owners dont have money for legal representation.They have begun a petition but once signed what do they do with it at that time? Please help!!
Rose,
The first thing you need to do is check your by-laws and become family with the rules of it.
If you can get 2/3% of the owners together, you should be able to remove these 2 off the board.
This must be done quietly at first and then call a special meeting of all the owners or have proxies set up by them.
If you can get them removed, be prepared to refill their positions immediately.
Try to have as little communication with these 2 as possible...
That is the only way to get your situation resolved...
Good Luck..

We had a similar problem. Start to document everything with an Email. Dont sent Emails accusing anyone of anything. but ask questions. Such As: Is it legal for two board members to vote without consulting the rest of the Board. or I dont think its legal to bypass the bylaws,, could another BM clarify this.
KEEP every Email... You will be surprised by the results. Good luck
