Our 40-unit Georgia condo complex has just lost one of it's five Board members. Our by-laws require 5 members, but we've had no luck finding anyone willing to replace the person who left (due to severe conflict caused by two of the board members). My question: now that we are down, at least for the time being, to four members, and among those four members votes will most likely be split two against two, how are tie votes decided? Our by-laws state the president has an equal vote. My understanding of Robert's Rules is that motions resulting in tie votes are dismissed. Is this correct. Our president wants to be a dictator, and thinks the office of president can do as it pleases.

I live in Atlanta Ga. The board & property management company of my condo complex are allowing rentals even though our documents clearly state rentals aren't allowed. I have complained in writing, sent emails, & have had meetings with the board about this matter. They have done nothing. Because of the real estate market the price of my condo has lost about 60 percent of its value. Because they are selling at such a low price, investors are coming in, buying them cheap, and renting them out. What can I do to make them stop allowing illegal rentals. I didn't purchase here to live in a rental community. Can I sue the Association or Management company for allowing these illegal rentals?
