Our board refuses to release any meeting minutes to the owners, and even told me that they do not record who voted for what in the meeting minutes. Can they do that? —Pro-Transparency Owner⁠

Apparently, the concept of “no pets” has gone away with the proliferation of service or support animals, but can we restrict where the animals are allowed to go? It seems there’s nothing in our bylaws about this, because the initial plan for the property was that pets would not be allowed. —Watching My Step⁠

The stability and value of a shared interest community hinges on a lot of things; financial solvency, good governance, and proactive physical maintenance, to name a few. But another key component, and one that may be less obvious to the eye, is social cohesion and mutual respect among residents, administrators, and staff. Unresolved conflict and the acrimonious environment it produces are anathema to the peace and sense of community residents of condominiums, co-ops, and HOAs seek. ⁠

It’s a constant refrain in multifamily governance and management: open, transparent communication between boards, managers, and residents is vital to running a building or HOA effectively and equitably. Unresponsive, disconnected leadership makes for apathetic, even resentful residents—and that leads to all kinds of problems, from rule-breaking all the way to litigation. ⁠

Q. A majority of unit owners want our entire corrupt condo board replaced, and five of us are prepared to run and serve on the new board. Problem: The current board refuses to schedule an election, which our management company is responsible for administering. Is there any procedure available by which a majority of unit owners can bypass the board and request that our management company post a first notice and conduct an election? ⁠

Security cameras have been around in one form or another for a long time. Those available today are more efficient and of better quality than at any time in the past. Unquestionably, they provide a level of surveillance and security that is both comforting and useful. But security systems of any kind are only as good as the people using them, and only helpful if people trust them in the first place. ⁠

Pets have always been a source of comfort and emotional support for their humans, and since the pandemic created more opportunities for us to remain at home, pets have become even more constant companions for many. Given that integrating animals into multifamily living spaces has become the rule rather than the exception, it’s important for boards, residents, and managers to strike the proper balance between neighborly consideration and responsible pet ownership. ⁠

Across the board, brokers and managers agree that when a prospective buyer finds the right space, it just clicks. A combination of exterior curb appeal, well-kept common areas, and smart staging of the unit itself can make that ‘click’ happen from the moment a home-hunter sees the building, and help maximize the final sales price of the property. ⁠
