Meisner's Maxim #2 "Behind every board member is a person(s) pulling a string"
1/17/2008 at 8:52 PM - Other
This maxim is analogous to the notion that our politicians do not act for themselves, but are merely the servants of special interest groups. In the condominium context, the “special interest group” may be the spouse, live-in boy friend or mother of the board member, or perhaps his “fishing buddy” who lives across the street. Board members have friends, relatives, in-laws and business partners who live in or have a financial interest in the condominium. He or she wants to serve the needs of his “constituents” and, when his string is pulled, the board member reacts. It’s reality in the dynamics of condominium operation and, presumably, many other groups. (Robert Meisner. 2005. Condo Living: A Guide to Buying, Owner, and Selling a Condominium. Pg. 150. Momentum Books.)
Board members should react uniformily to every situation, but you may find that bylaw enforcement letters, and the like, are not being sent to "friends," while those same letters are being sent to others. Watch your condominium board carefully and see if I am not correct!
