Can I challenge decisions made by my condo board?
Yes, you can challenge decisions made by your condo board in Oregon. You can challenge a variety of decisions made by the board based on the Oregon Condominium Act. Generally, condo owners can challenge decisions made outside of what is outlined in the Oregon Condominium Act, decisions that are made in bad faith, decisions that are not related to the purpose of the condo association, or decisions that are arbitrary and capricious. The first step to challenging a decision is to follow the rules outlined by the condo board. According to Oregon Condominium Act, the homeowner must submit a written request to the board, detailing the action they believe is wrong. The board must then call a special meeting within 15 days of receipt of the request. At the meeting, condo owners can present their arguments and challenge the decision. The board will then render a decision. If the board does not act in the best interest of the condo owners, the condo owners can take the matter to a court of law and seek judicial review. In the end, it is important that condo owners are aware of their rights when challenging decisions made by the board. As long they meet the requirements outlined in the Oregon Condominium Act, they can present their case and challenge the board’s decision.
