If no board members speak up after the motion is seconded and the chair asks for the vote, it is typically considered a failed motion due to lack of support or consensus. The lack of response indicates that there is not clear approval for the motion to pass.

It is not advisable to try to get around rules set by tenants in a condo. It is important to respect and follow the rules and regulations that have been established for the benefit of all residents.

HOA stands for Homeowners' Association. For lawyers, HOAs represent legal entities responsible for managing and governing housing communities or developments. Legal considerations for lawyers may include drafting and enforcing HOA bylaws, resolving disputes between homeowners and the association, and ensuring compliance with state laws and regulations.

It depends on the specific circumstances and laws in your jurisdiction.

After a judgment is filed for past due HOA dues, the HOA may proceed with actions to collect the debt, such as placing a lien on the property, garnishing wages, or seizing property for auction.

However, in the context of a homeowner association, the disclosure of legal actions taken by the Board of Directors against a homeowner for a violation of covenants is usually governed by state laws on homeowner associations and property rights, as well as the association's governing documents like its bylaws or CC&Rs. Homeowners should review these documents to understand their rights and the association's obligations regarding disclosure of legal actions.

Capitalization depends on context.

For example, President Jones is proper, and the board president is also proper.

Yes, and here's why.

Your membership may only be allowed to vote for board members and to vote regarding the annual budget -- read your governing documents to confirm this. (And your membership confirms its faith in board members by voting for them.)

Because your board leads a legal corporation, and the governing documents for your private democracy state that board member terms are limited to some number of years, board members must be re-elected in order to conform to the law.

If a member -- unit owner -- challenges a decision or action of the board, the board members may be asked to prove their right to decide or act. If not properly elected, the action or decision could be in jeopardy. This is not a situation in which a corporation wants to find itself, legally.
