— Facts, Not Opinions
At the last meeting, the property manager acting as “moderator” repeatedly interrupted, contradicted, and tried to school owners who questioned the board.
Those raising valid governance and financial concerns were cut off.
Those defending me were shut down entirely.
Meanwhile, those echoing the board’s talking points were allowed to speak freely.
That is not “moderation.”
That is interference in owner participation – and it undermines the principles of transparency and fairness that the Condominium Act is built on.
1️⃣ She Represents the Corporation, Not Herself
A property manager does not act as an independent authority.
She is an agent of the condominium corporation, working under the authority of the board and her employer, the management company.
But in this case, the board went a step further – it appointed her as chair of the meeting.
That means everything she said, every interruption she made, every instruction she gave, was done in the name of the corporation.
Her conduct was not personal; it was corporate conduct.
So when she silenced owners or misrepresented the law, the finances (which she did repeatedly) she did so on behalf of the corporation – and that creates corporate liability.
If a claim ever arises from her conduct, the legal costs are paid out of our shared operating funds – the same funds owners pay through monthly fees and special assessments.
In simple terms:
When she speaks, she speaks for all of us.
If she acts improperly, we all pay for it.
2️⃣ Oppressive Conduct Violates Section 135 of the Condominium Act
Section 135 protects owners from any conduct by the corporation or its agents that is oppressive, unfairly prejudicial, or unfairly disregards their interests.
When only “friendly” voices are heard and others are silenced, that is oppression – not debate.
It denies equal participation and misleads the community.
Transparency dies when only one side of the room is allowed to speak.
3️⃣ The Board’s Duty of Care Under Section 37
The board must act honestly, in good faith, and with the diligence of a reasonably prudent person.
That duty includes ensuring that its agents – including the property manager – act impartially and lawfully.
By appointing her as chair, the board assumed full responsibility for her conduct.
They can no longer hide behind her “professional judgment.”
If she interrupts, misinforms, or shows bias, the fault belongs to the board that empowered her.
4️⃣ Why Owners Must Take a Position
Every owner benefits when meetings are fair, open, and lawful.
When a moderator suppresses questions, she isn’t just silencing one person – she’s silencing the entire ownership base.
She’s keeping you from hearing information that directly affects your property value, your fees, and your ability to hold leadership accountable.
If this happens again, owners must not stay silent.
Speak up.
Remind the board that she represents the corporation – and that her mistakes are paid by us all.
If others don’t care, or don’t understand the law, I do.
And I will continue to remind this community what the Condominium Act actually says – not what someone pretending to know it claims it means.
