I agree the Condo Laws combined with the Project Documents IF fairly applied by the Directors is a good thing.  Interpretation of the law can be muddled if the Directors refuse to address the concerns of owner’s questions and issues.  I brought my Board to mediation to address several concerns only to have my Board refuse to participate.  Since then, a new property manager appears to be more balanced and fair in interpreting all documents.   A property manager is like a box of chocolate, you just don't know what you're going to get.  I support  licensing of property managers because their interpretation of Condo Law and Project Documents has to be measured and be held accountable.  I support an office of the ombudsman because an owner deserves to have some teeth to uphold their Owner's Rights.  From my experience, consumer protection takes a lesser seat to Condo-Self-Governance.  The University of Hawaii should offer classes in Condo Law for a more effective curriculum.
