Please familiarize yourself with your rights as a condo owner. Board transparency is crucial to provide the checks and balances needed for the financial health and stability of our association.
Condo owners in Hawaii have a legal right to participate in discussion and deliberation during Board Meetings according to Hawaii Condo Law 514b Section 514b-121 (d) and in Section 514b-125 (a). There is an exception where the board majority can vote to take away this right for special circumstances. Please note that the law gives owners the right to participate in discussion and deliberation and that the exception is to eliminate owner participation.
