Q. An owner in our 6-unit building has divided his unit into two separate apartments and is renting them out under two different leases. He's created an additional address for the extra unit that does not exist in our Declaration. Is this legal?

Q. We are a 6-unit building with three board members. One of the board members, however, does not respond to communication and does not participate in board meetings.

Q. I'm the owner of a condo unit that I rent. Unfortunately, the tenant has been causing problems for the other owners/tenants in the building and has even been damaging property as a result of a personal relationship gone sour.

Q. Our condo building does not have a cleaning service in place. The board has mandated that each owner take 2-week turns cleaning the common hallways or face an $80 fine.
