Can I veto decisions made by my condo association?

In California, it is not possible for individual residents to veto decisions made by their condo association. The condo association is a legally recognized entity and it has authority to make decisions that affect all residents. The residents may also have the right to call a meeting for the purpose of voting on a specific issue. However, even if the majority of residents do not approve of the condo association’s decision, they are not able to veto it. Condo associations have to abide by state and federal laws that they must follow. If the decisions the association is making are not in line with these laws, then the residents may be able to challenge them. However, the vast majority of routine decisions are within the association’s legal purview. Residents may be able to file a complaint with the state agency overseeing the condo association if they feel the decision was improper. This process generally involves providing evidence to show the decision was not in line with applicable laws. In most cases, this will be an uphill battle and it is recommended that you get a lawyer if you feel strongly enough about this issue. In short, individual residents are not able to veto decisions made by their condo association in California. The only recourse for residents is to file a complaint with the state agency overseeing the condo association if they feel the decision was improper.
