Is it legal if the Board President doesn't live in the property (he lives in other state and has his condo rented to his tenant but still acting as a president).
Pls advice

It all depends on what is allowed under your governing documents and state law. Read your CC&R's closely; unless your CC&R's require him to actually live on site then he is probably in the right. You can also visit http://www.davis-stirling.com/index.html to see if it is allowed under the Davis-Stirling Act.

Check your definition of "member" as it relates to Board eligibility.

Since she mentioned the president is an owner then why would it matter where he or she resides? The president is a member of the association by virtue of owning property there. It would seem strange for the bylaws to stipulate you must reside in the condo the be on the board (as long as you own a unit).

I agree with HOATALK...he is an owner, therefore a member...shouldn't really matter if he decides not to live there. Unless there is some strange wording in your docs about all this.
