## What do you think? Question:

During this email era, what is the proper way to submit a legal petition to the board requesting a special meeting - they have sent just a email with owner names on it and the unit number and reason - don't we have to have petition member sign or "email" the petition? Anyone can type in names in an email. Who do they present it to at the condominium and how long does the board have to act upon it? The first time they did this they presented it at a board meeting this troublesome group had an email from each owner but this time they just typed in owner names on an email It seems to me there is a legal proper way to do this otherwise the board and resident managers to be inundated with quarrelsome owners constantly. We are now asking our attorney but still waiting on answer - even they have a problem recognizing what is proper!
