Guest Alice Burke Posted January 30, 2015 at 09:42 PM Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 at 09:42 PM Contentious officers of our Residents Association created new Bylaws that all the officers signed under duress. Then these officers resigned. The membership have not yet approved these bylaws. Are the new officers free to adopt new bylaws, or must they follow through on these?

Edgar Guest Posted January 30, 2015 at 09:46 PM Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 at 09:46 PM Your bylaws can only be amended by following the amendment process that is (hopefully) described in your bylaws. It's very unlikely (to the point of being inconceivable) that any random group of officers would be authorized to amend the bylaws. So not only can't the old officers amend your bylaws, the new officers can't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted January 30, 2015 at 09:59 PM Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 at 09:59 PM I agree with Mr. Guest. In all likelihood, it is the members of the residents association itself which must approve new bylaws or bylaw amendments. Like Mr. Guest said, the bylaws themselves (the "old" ones) should spell out the amendment process and who has to approve them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
