I am on the board of my HOA.  An owner who decided we were not moving quickly enough decided to call a vendor and told them that the HOA board approved work to a common area. Luckily the vendor contacted our property management company to check so the work didn't happen. If the vendor didn't do this, who would be responsible?

Thankfully, this article is titled incorrectly and it was NOT a community manager acting outside of the board of directors.

The owner if the vendor was daft enough to act on his instructions

any vendor who does work without a sigbned contract should suffer any loss incurred.

Haha this happens all the time. If a trade is actually dumb enough to do the work and bill the condominium corporation, the manager should reject the invoice, or instruct the trade to bill the unit owner directly. If the unit owner resists, they are reminded that they have no authority to make decisions regarding common area or corporate responsibilities, the invoice can be paid by the corporation, assessed against the owner, and collected with the usual procedures.
