## What do you think? Question:

![property managers](https://www.condoassociation.com/hs-fs/file-13172610-jpg/images/eval-resized-600.jpg)My question is about community property managers. How much guidance must a community property manager give a condo association or [HOA](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) board? If the property manager knows that something should or shouldn't be done by the board, does that manager have a duty to speak up. Even if the specific subject is not mentioned in the management contract?

For instance, let's say that the [property manager](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) sees that a board member is going to do something risky or something that would violate the governing documents, should or does the manager have a duty to speak out and inform the board member of the situation?  And, along the same lines, if a board member asks for the assistance of a [community property](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/Default.aspx) manager to violate a governing document provision, does the manager have the duty to refuse to participate in the action?
