HB 1645 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

establishing a condominium dispute resolution board.

This bill proposes creating a new Condominium Dispute Resolution Board to handle complaints from unit owners regarding issues like bylaw violations or improper voting procedures. The board would be composed of representatives from the legislature, condominium owners, association boards, management companies, and the legal profession, with members serving staggered terms to ensure stability. To resolve disputes, the board would review complaints filed with a $250 fee, conduct hearings with relaxed evidence rules, and issue written decisions that can be enforced as court judgments if no appeal is filed. The legislation also establishes procedures for member disqualification due to conflicts of interest, requires annual reporting of complaint statistics, and designates the Department of Justice to provide legal counsel to the board.
