Hi all. I'm hoping someone can help with this little debacle. The facts are as follows:
* 6yr old condo experienced mass water leakage in a lot of units due to poor window installation
* HOA sued builder on behalf of unit owners
* Builder settles with HOA BOD out of court for undisclosed amount without HOA unit owners voting.
* HOA BOD refuses to disclose settlement sum to unit owners except individually AFTER each interested owner signs nondisclosure form.
* I'm having a rough time with the BOD's disbursement of settlement funds and requested to see settlement docs.
* HOA BOD refuses to let me see without signing non-disclosure.
* I inform BOD that under Maryland Condominium Act § 11B-111.3. Distribution of written information and materials, such information shouldn't be restricted.
Written information or materials. -- Except for reasonable restrictions to the time
of distribution, a recorded covenant or restriction, a provision in a declaration, or a
provision of the bylaws or rules of a homeowners association may not restrict a lot owner
from distributing written information or materials regarding the operation of or matters
relating to the operation of the homeowners association in any manner or place that the
governing body distributes written information or materials.
* HOA BOD still refuses to lift restriction and let me see documents without signing non-disclosure.
Do I have a case here?
