Massachusetts condominium boards in Waltham operate under MGL c.183A, requiring annual meetings, proper notice, quorum rules, and fiduciary duty by trustees and directors.
The Massachusetts Condominium Act (MGL c.183A) governs condo associations and is the framework most Waltham HOAs operate under. Boards of trustees or directors must hold annual meetings with written notice to all unit owners, typically 10 to 30 days in advance depending on the master deed and bylaws. Quorum requirements, usually a majority or specified percentage of unit interest, must be met for binding votes. Trustees have fiduciary duties of loyalty and care, must avoid self-dealing, and are subject to governing documents plus common law fiduciary standards. Meeting minutes, financial records, and governing documents must be available to unit owners upon reasonable request.
