What to do about self-dealing by the the President of our HOA?
I live in a condo. We just had the exterior of the buildings painted. According to one of the painters, the President of the Board had the interior of her condo painted by the company “for next to nothing”. Is this legal? I mean, she contracted with the company and then got personal gain out of it.

I suggest that the best way to deal with the issue about personal gain by the president of your HOA is to speak with him or her directly about what you heard in order to confirm the truth or not and then if you confirm such, submit a confirming letter memorializing the conversation while keeping a copy of it for future use and need.
From there, you might wish to consult with an attorney that does work concerning planned unit developements such as yours to see what if any legal recourse you may have about the matter you have written about.
