Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Connecticut

I live in a townhouse complex and recently a meeting was held where only a few people attended (no agenda provided beforehand) and they unilaterally decided to make rules about parking which are not consistent across all owners. Some unit owners have to follow the rules others do not. Can an email, based on a meeting that was held without all owners be a legal and binding document? As an owner what rights do I have? Shouldn't rules be agreed by all and formally documented in by laws and not ransom emails?

If your townhouse complex is considered a cooperative or condominium, then the units are regulated by the Connecticut Common Interest Ownership Act. Assuming this email is a reflection of a resolution passed by your Board of Directors, it may hold up if no one challenges it within a specific period of time afterward pursuant to CIOA. If you want to have more of a say as to how the place is run, you should run for the board of directors and speak with the Co-ops attorney. Please feel free to contact me for further assistance .
