title: Owner authorized HOA work without board approval
description: 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 board approved work to a common area. Luckily the vendor contacted our management company to check so the work didn't happen. If the vendor didn't do this, who would be responsible?
