Florida passed a new condo law in, I believe, 2009, that bans board
members from serving on boards if they are in arrears with their
maintenance assessment. That would have saved a lot of grief for my
condo a few years back. Imagine condo owners wanting and needing
repairs, like new roof, and a deadbeat on the board voting it down. It
gets really, really nasty. There aren't any professional standards or
ethics in my area....

Somebody told me that a condo/HOA board member will sometimes vote
against necessary maintenance because then s/he will have to pay an
assessment -- "I'm planning to move anyway, so let the people who come
later pay the assessment."
