"My condominium association is considering implementing a new rule. They are unsure if the new rule can be applied retroactively to violators who broke the rule before it was enacted. If the board decides to enforce this rule, would they need to amend the bylaws, or can they implement and enforce this retroactively on their own?" #Becker shareholder Joseph Adams answers this question and more in this week's column for News-Press. #CommunityAssociations #HOA #Condominium

#Becker wishes you a happy New Year! As we step into 2025, let’s embrace opportunities for growth and joy. May this year bring you peace and prosperity. #2025 #NewYears

"At the recent annual meeting of our condominium association, the president asked at the end of the meeting if there was any 'new business.' I raised my hand and made a motion to appoint a committee to audit the insurance income and expenditures from Hurricane Ian. The president told me she would take it under advisement and get back to me. I said the owners had the right to vote on my motion and my tone may have been a bit heated. After some back-and-forth whispering at the head table, the president abruptly adjourned the meeting and left the room with the rest of the board. No vote was taken. It was very chaotic and disagreeable. Don’t I have the right to make motions at the annual meeting since I am a member of the association, and this was a member’s meeting?" #Becker shareholder Joseph Adams answers this question and more in this week's column for News-Press. #CommunityAssociations #HOA #Condominium
