Complaints of homeowners in court against condominium association?

∙ 13y ago
You don't indicate in your question whether you have a court action or are contemplating one.
If owners are already in court in an action against the association, the key will be documentation and proof and your governing documents -- which are based on your state's condominium law. Your attorney can counsel and guide you about what to collect.
If you haven't filed an action yet, be aware that there is work people can do without spending money to clarify situations.
Your association is made up of owners elected by other owners who volunteer their time to serve as the board of directors of the association, which is a business: it's the business of protecting, preserving and maintaining the real estate assets that your private democracy owns in common.
The first step any board member must take is to read and understand the governing documents. It's the 'constitution' and 'Bill of Rights' that governs the operation of the community.
(If your association is new and your association remains under the control of the developer, that's a question that hasn't been asked.)
The first step any homeowner must take is to read the governing documents. When owners complain, the complaint must be legitimate under the unique guidelines for that community.
Your governing documents set out the process whereby owners can change the governing documents, vote board members off the board and so forth, usually by a majority vote or super majority vote of all owners -- not just those present at a board meeting.
If you have a particular complaint, please ask a more specific question.
