Florida Community Association Manager Practice Exam

Members have the right to access which of the following?

1. Personal accounts of board members

2. Common elements

3. Legal opinions on current litigation

4. Specific employee evaluations

The correct answer is: Common elements

Members of a community association have the right to access common elements because these areas are owned collectively by the association and all members have an equitable interest in them. Common elements typically include shared facilities and amenities, such as pools, clubhouses, parks, and hallways. This right of access ensures that all members can enjoy and utilize shared resources and helps promote transparency within the community. Access to personal accounts of board members, legal opinions on current litigation, and specific employee evaluations generally do not fall within the rights of members. Personal account information is private, and legal opinions are often protected due to attorney-client privilege. Specific employee evaluations are considered confidential personnel information and are not accessible to the community at large. Thus, members’ primary rights revolve around accessing the common areas that directly impact their living experience within the community.
