We are a condominium, not a co-op. At the last annual meeting there were 5 seats up for election. It has now come to the homeowners attention that 2 of the newly elected board members are husband and wife and live together in the same unit. The board always worked on the premise that only 1 person per unit/deed can sit on the board. Does anyone know the legality of this. Any advice would be appreciated.
You should consult your by-laws and association papers to find out how many representatives from one unit may run. It may be that both representatives on the deed may run, but only one representative is allowed at the time as you understand it. A consultation with an attorney may be the most neutral way to resolve the problem without creating ill feelings on individuals and documentating once and for all similar situations in the future.
