Wasn't sure where to plunk this but, seeing as it combines politics and condos (the two most popular topics on the forum), it seems fitting to go with this part of UT.
We have a party room in our condo and one of the residents wishes to host a "meet and greet" for one of the candidates. It's his right to host whatever he likes as long as he follows the condo rules for using the room and the common areas.
At the same time, the law dictates that candidates be allowed entry into multi-residential buildings for canvassing.
But there doesn't seem to be anything covering this possibility: He wants to "advertise" his reception for his candidate with posters on the condo billboards. Not the corporate ones but the ones designated for residents' usage as in "seeking a parking spot" and "looking for a cleaning lady."
Our board feels the meet and greet can go ahead but there is potential issue with papering the billboards with what amounts to campaign posters. Other residents have different partisan views and, come the federal election, all hell may break loose with postering.
Can anybody offer some wisdom here? Should this resident "advertise" his meet and greet in the common areas? Or should he rely on word of mouth, personal invites, email, whatever?
