I live in a condominium community in Ohio and our association by-laws and I think there is some kind of state law that says you have to be a condominium unit owner to serve as president of the board. You can not be a renter or a person residing in the home with the owner. We have a president now who is not a home owner but insteads lives with her mother she's held this position for a couple of months now. Shes found out that we're trying to have her removed again so her mother transferred ownership of her unit over to this woman. We know the unit can be transferred over to this woman but it seems as though it's only being done so that she can hold her position as president. Isn't this fraud? Is there anything we can do to have her charged for this? A couple of years ago this same person held the same position she was asked to resign after the treasurer was cout embezelling and it was found out she was not a home owner she did resign only after fighting and threatening others.

Fraud is when someone lies about something to get an advantage over someone else.
If the house is actually transferred to the woman, that is not fraud. It's just playing the game.
But if the house is transferred every time a challenge occurs, and then transferred back immediately afterward -- that's fraud.

If the woman is an owner now, then she should be able to be the president of the board. It doesn't matter why she got ownership.
