Condo Q&A

Condo Association President being advised to seek legal advice

Several questions were asked in my Condo Association on how to handle an upcoming assessment according to the Bylaws. The President is now being questioned on their decision when they were only trying to do the right thing to protect the condo association from future problems. The property management company is now advising to seek legal advice. Further, one of the condo owners is unhappy with the attorney’s advice and is trying to rescind the assessment altogether, threatening to file with the ombudsman.

Does a Condo Association Board of Directors President have the right to seek legal advice after being advised to do so from the property management company without Board approval?
