Question:
Can the HOA spend money allocated to community on items they do not own? If the board decided to move forward with the renovation without 100% approval of the community can a board member be sued or the management company for spending the community money. Does the board need 100% approval form the residents in the community to fix things they do not own.

Answer:
Hi Alison,
Kindly review the governing documents to verify what the HOA is responsible for and which actions require membership approval. It may also be best to verify whether the renovated place is association property. Typically, all common areas are part of the HOA’s responsibility to maintain and manage. The board usually has the power to renovate property, but it may be wise to review the governing documents to verify this. For further guidance, kindly consult a lawyer.
