> For other upgrades, the owners put it up to a vote

2 vote for, 2 vote against. What now? All of the examples you listed are even splits (2 vs. 2 or 4 vs 4). Who resolves a dispute in the case of a tie?



A majority of owners need to agree before moving forward (so 3-1 or 5-3 in the examples you gave). The threshold increases for more costly expenses


So 2 people in agreement can just gridlock everything in a 4 person unit forever? That seems broken.


If all it takes is two (out of four) to decide something, the other two could immediately rescind the decision. It has to be a majority.

In most bureaucracies gridlock is not a bug, it’s a feature. It forces wider consensus.


What if they don't put out the money for the cost of upgrade because they didn't vote for it?
