Who is responsible for governing a condominium?

In a condominium, the board of directors or managers is primarily responsible for governing the property. This board is typically made up of elected members who act on behalf of all unit owners and are tasked with making important decisions regarding the management and operation of the condominium. Their responsibilities include enforcing community rules, managing the budget, overseeing maintenance, and handling disputes among residents.

The property owner's association, while involved in the governance of the condominium, is usually managed by the board. Local government may set regulations and zoning laws that affect the condominium but does not govern the day-to-day operations or decisions of the property. A real estate broker may assist in transactions related to the condominium but does not have governing authority over it. Therefore, the role of the board of directors or managers is central to the effective governance of a condominium community.
