To ensure that only condo unit owners are elected as board members, certain steps can be taken. Firstly, establish clear eligibility criteria in the condo corporatio’s by-laws that explicitly state that only unit owners can run for board positions.
This criterion can be further reinforced by implementing a verification process that requires official documents to confirm ownership status.
In addition to ownership requirements, it is advisable to pass a by-law that outlines the qualifications for directors, such as specific education or experience criteria. This helps ensure that board members possess the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively fulfill their roles
It is worth noting that, typically, the corporation's documents and by-laws do not explicitly address the election of directors. However, taking the initiative to pass a by-law that establishes qualifications, including the requirement for directors to be unit owners, can help ensure a fair and suitable board composition.
