Rhode Island requires advance written notice of condominium meetings—10 to 60 days—stating the time, place, and agenda. Notably, the Act does not impose an open-meeting mandate. Owners may examine the association's financial records, which must be made available within 30 days of a request.
R.I. Gen. Laws § 34-36.1-3.08 requires the association to meet at least annually and that notice be hand-delivered or mailed "not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days in advance of any meeting," stating "the time and place of the meeting and the items on the agenda," including any proposed amendment, budget change, or removal of a director or officer. Unlike some UCIOA states, the section contains no requirement that board or association meetings be open to unit owners and no executive-session rules. For transparency, § 34-36.1-3.18 requires the association to "keep financial records sufficiently detailed" and make them "reasonably available for examination within thirty (30) days of a request by any unit owner and his or her authorized agent."
No specific statutory penalty; an owner denied required notice or records access may seek enforcement in court, and a vote taken without proper notice may be challenged.
