Crofton, MD asked in Real Estate Law for Maryland

Q: I am concerned about a condo board and the seating of its officers. Should a unit have more than one person on the board

we are a 9 unit association. We have an equal vote among us. The officers are elected by the entire group. The officers have certain leeway on fiscal decisions. Should a single unit have more than One representative seated as an officer?

Can those officers be solely appointed by the president with out a vote of the association?

Thank you

A: I assume you have either studied the Condo bylaws and Declarations and read through all the minutes for violations, or you have at least retained counsel to do that for you. So, what are the relevant sections? What do they say? Do those sections violate Maryland Code? What procedures are required for the elections and appointments to which you refer? What is the basic politics of the community? Could you win it on a vote?

Oh, I'm sorry. I guess you thought all condos everywhere in the United States are the same. In that case, the answer is 42.
