This condo commando audacity has now reached the stage of a counter lawsuit.

What is a condo commando?

Here are three definitions gleaned from the Internet:

• The condo commando is an egocentric person on a condominium's board of directors who rules by intimidation, putting his/her interests ahead of others, abusive to the property manager and any board member who gets in the way. Dominates meetings, won't let others speak. Can be prone to angry outbursts.


• The condo commando is (a) a condominium resident who diligently watches for and reports violations of building rules and regulations; (b) a politically active person who campaigns within or lobbies for the condominium in which they live.


• Condo commandos are little old ladies (on occasion, little old men), who devote their entire life to paying attention to, complaining about, and ordering everyone around who lives in, visits, serves on the boards of, manages, and/or works for the condo where they live. They have no other life, as their children can't stand them either. Frequently of a specific ethnic extraction or belonging to a group with a common interest (playing golf, bridge or pinochle), and found living in South Florida.
