Can the unit owners stop the board from hiring a management company?
The bylaws or other association documents shall specify the powers and duties of officers and board members. One may review the documents to determine whether the unit owners or the board may approve hiring management. Chapters 718 and 719, Florida Statutes, do not require the association to hire a manager. However, the Florida Administrative Code, states that if a condominium board of directors chooses to employ a manager, it shall only employ a licensed community association manager where licensure is required by Section 468.431, Florida Statutes. Condominium: Section 718.112(2)(a)1., F.S., and Rule 61B-23.001(4), F.A.C. Cooperative: Section 719.106(1)(a)1., F.S.
