Summary
In Ohio, altering a legally binding agreement generally requires consent from all parties involved. If you have evidence, such as meeting minutes, showing the condo board approved your request, it supports the existence of a legally binding agreement. Without your consent, they typically cannot unilaterally alter the agreement. Its crucial to have everything documented in writing for clarity and enforcement. If the board refuses to provide written documentation, consider consulting an attorney specializing in condo law for guidance. Document all communications with the board and insist on written agreements to strengthen your position.Full Conversation
not yet. i just found out yesterday. and the agreement isn't in writing, i submitted the request for a reasonable accommodation to the board it writing, i asked for them to put their response in writing, but the only thing "written" was it showing on the board meeting notes that it was "approved". they refuse to give me anything in writing, because they say it was done in an executive session...even though i had asked prior to the meeting for their response to be written and given to me. i put nothing in my original request regarding anything like this re-wording matter because who would think they would try to do something like this?
It sounds like you're dealing with a tricky situation. In Ohio, and generally, having agreements and accommodations documented in writing is crucial for clarity and enforcement. Here are some steps you might consider:
- Request a copy of the board meeting notes or any official documentation that mentions the approval.
- Politely insist on having any changes or accommodations documented in writing.
- If the board continues to refuse, consider seeking guidance from an attorney specializing in condo or housing law.
Have you thought about formally requesting the board meeting notes that show the approval?
i have the meeting minutes that show it was approved. that's all i have. i don't understand how they can change the words of what i wrote.
It seems like a challenging situation. Here are a few steps you might consider:
- Review the Meeting Minutes: Ensure the minutes clearly state the approval of your accommodation.
- Communicate with the Board: Ask for specifics on the proposed rewording and the necessity of such changes.
- Seek Legal Advice: A local attorney specializing in condo law can offer tailored guidance.
You might want to formally request written confirmation of the approved accommodation from the board. Would you like assistance in connecting with local legal professionals?
their reason they convey to me for re-wording is to re-word it in a way that is better for me to understand it. I WROTE IT...i understand what i wrote.

let me ask this...if you say altering a legally binding agreement requires consent from all parties, and i do not consent, they can't do it, correct? since i have evidence that they approved my request, isn't that proof enough that there is a legally binding agreement?
