When you say "you are in a coop". What does that mean? Do you own the coop or rent the coop?

If you own yes you are protected under the "roommate law". However, as a board member that means you are "splitting" the "rent" and costs with your "roommate"

A finance is an imaginary term. There is no legal rights. Sometimes boards are worry you are going to run a rooming house or the AKA "roommate" is not a roommate at all. But a sublease at a mark-up.

It is a fine line. We had a women in my building who had a "roommate"., but it turns out she had the ad still up for more "roomates". She claimed it was going to be one but our lawyer made her take down her ads to prove it.

Additionally, she has no mortgage. Maint is low in my building. She was bragging that the "roommate" was going to cover all her costs and she was living free.

In the end we let her keep one roommate, sign and agreement she would keep it to one. We also let her slide on her living free.

Personally I owned a coop and two weeks before my wedding date my finance moved in. But I knew a girl on the board, she chatted with me and knew I was engaged and she knew my wedding date so I felt no obligation to tell the board anything. A wife is not a sublease.

Now as a board member I would not want to know at all what you are doing. But if you sent me an application. I guess unless this is a real engagement. I mean ring on finger and you are giving me a wedding date. I guess I want to know more details. I would rather not know nothing at all.

And remember he is a "second class citizen" in your building. Cant vote at a board meeting or even attend a board meeting. And causes a second set of issues to board, Unmarried room-mates who date are usually trouble for landlord. If they break up, call off engagement it brings whole building and board into your personal life
