Question:
hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek your guidance on how to address the issues of corruption within our condominium association’s board members.
We are part of a community located in Ohio. Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your support.

Answer:
Hi Ashraf,
Start by thoroughly reviewing your association’s governing documents, such as bylaws and declarations, to understand the procedures for addressing misconduct and removing board members. These documents typically outline the process for calling special meetings and the required voting thresholds for board member removal.
Next, gather concrete evidence of the alleged corruption. This includes collecting financial records, meeting minutes, and any correspondence that substantiates the claims. Homeowners have the right to access association records, which can be requested formally. With evidence in hand, consider organizing a special meeting of the association’s members. This meeting should address the concerns and, if necessary, initiate a vote to remove the implicated board members.
Make sure that you strictly follow all procedural requirements, such as notice periods and quorum mandates. If you believe the board has committed a financial crime, contact local authorities to file a report.
