What Happens When the Board President Is a Rotten Egg?

"While your board president's behavior does sound egregious, in order to give her the boot, you'll have to stick to building protocol (and brace for a long, drawn-out dispute)," respond Brickunderground's experts.

That means you'll have to not only rally likeminded people but also pore over the building's bylaws to make sure you're playing by the book. Brickunderground's experts aren't kidding when they add that you should get ready for a long, drawn-out dispute, either.

The kinds of people who cause these sorts of problems are not shrinking violets, as we've reported in the past. And sometimes, it's the entire board that's the problem. Rare though that scenario may be, don't worry. Ousting an entire board is certainly difficult, but not impossible. Remember, nobody should have to endure a toxic, let alone hostile, environment in his or her own homes.
