Question:
Our hoa was formed prior to 1992. Do any laws apply?
We have been working with a management company that seems really ineffective.
I resigned from the board last fall. Our board has a m8nimum of 3 members which there were. One resigned sometime ago; the 2 others have sold property. As far as I know, the manager has 3 candidates lined up – not sure of any firm commitments. Wondering how/if they can be legally brought on board. If courts need to get 8nvolved, how does that
Process go?
We have not had an annual meeting in a year and a half.
I am burnt out. My relationship with manager is not great. We have not had any group communication (newsletter, minutes) in about a year. I have requested Financials and minutes. Suggestions?

Answer:
If your HOA elected to be governed by the Minnesota Common Interest Ownership Act, then that Act applies to you.
Your governing documents should give you insight as to what the process is for electing new board members. Typically, elections happen at the annual meeting, and most HOAs are required to hold an annual meeting. If board members resigned in the middle of their term, your bylaws should tell you how to fill those seats. That can happen either through an election or appointment.
As for financials and minutes, homeowners generally have a right to review the official records of the association upon request. This article may help: https://www.
