Who has the authority to elect the directors of a condominium?

The owners of a condominium have the authority to elect the directors. This process typically reflects the democratic principles governing the management of the condominium association, where each owner has a stake in the community and therefore a voice in its leadership.

The board of directors is often composed of individuals who are chosen from among the owners, who represent their interests and make decisions on their behalf regarding the management and operation of the condominium. The structure ensures that those who have financial and personal investments in the property can influence how it is maintained and regulated.

Tenants do not have voting rights in this election process because they do not own the property and therefore do not have the same vested interests as the owners. Similarly, while a management company may assist in running the day-to-day operations and provide input, it does not have the authority to elect directors. This responsibility is reserved solely for the condominium owners, emphasizing the importance of community and ownership in condominium governance.
