Unanimous consent

What is unanimous consent?

Unanimous consent is a decision that requires every single member of the HOA or condo to agree before it can move forward, typically reserved for the most significant or sensitive matters a community faces.

Why does unanimous consent matter?

Requiring full agreement protects against a decision being forced through over strong minority objection, but it also means a single holdout can block something the vast majority actually wants. Boards need to know exactly which decisions actually require this high a bar.

When You’ll Run Into This

This becomes relevant the moment a decision is significant enough, or sensitive enough, that the governing documents require full agreement rather than a simple majority. Our guide on organizing your board’s resolutions covers how different decisions require different levels of agreement.
