Ager without vote of owners

to find out the options of pursuing the matter with the Nevada Real Estate Division.

Q: You have helped in the past with questions about board members abusing their power. I decided the join the board with another owner and a rental candidate. We all want to be on the board and be able to make changes. We faxed our applications for the ballot, and the management company did not accept the rental candidate.

Can you please help me with this. Are they breaking the rules by not accepting this candidate? And, how I can approved this matter with the management company?

A: Per NRS 116.31034, at least three members must be unit owners in order to serve on the board. If you have a three-person board, the renter would not be eligible to run for the board.

Q: We were always under the impression that, as residents, we could attend any committee meeting (other than the covenants, conditions and restrictions committee and the executive board). We have now been told that we cannot attend the Architectural Review Committee meetings. Does our board have the right to preclude us from attending this or any meeting? I thought they were all open.

A: NRS 116 does not specifically address committees and attendance of homeowners at committee meetings, but under NRS 116.31175 (4b), the architectural records pertaining to a homeowner are considered confidential. Consequently, an association would not be able to allow homeowners to attend an architectural committee meeting.
