Condo Association B.O.D. is completely at a loss. Currently we have a homeowner who is $8000.00 behind and at $900.00 should have had a lien put on her. The management company completely let her slide and told us that since they recently sent her a collection letter that the BOD cannot record a lien on her property (in foreclosure and bank hasn't taken over). Her property has been abandoned for a year and she has since moved and bought a new house out of state. Also according to our Rules and Regulations we can't change them without a 70 percent vote of the association, according to bylaws we can't hold a meeting or pass any new policies without a 2/3 quorum of the owner, present or approving. How are we going to hold up our Fiduciary duty to the Association if we have no way to even have a meeting because only 3/9 unit owners show up. Plus we only have 2 Directors and no one is willing to step up to help out but complaining that we are a couple although I am simply on the Board of Directors for clerical support because there was no secretary and unfortunately president and secretary cant hold the same position. Is there a way to try and get a receivership or a way to utilize the standard condominium act of Washington to get business done. No one steps up but constantly complains and we are literally coming out of pocket to pay for things like insurance/bills/legal fees because the "association" has no money. Any advice would be nice or a referral to some sort of legal services that aren't charging mob fees.
