Sounds like the battle is lost - Steve-Inwood Apr 18, 2014

Dear Jill,

I am a co-op president in Manhattan. Since voting for co-ops is by shares of stock, and if all of the others units have approximately the same number of shares as your unit, it sounds like they will soon have an 80% majority (4 out of 5 units). Unfortunately, it sounds like the battle is lost. My suggestion to you is to hire a lawyer, get the highest price you can, the best move out terms you can and then sell.

If you think about it, do you really want to live in a building with yourself as the only occupied unit?

Sincerely,

Steve
