Having a husband and wife both serve on the condo board may not be the best idea in an ideal world. The world is not ideal so this can be acceptable in some communities.
Who can serve as a condo director is determined by the corporation’s governing documents. Unless specifically prohibited, both husband and wife may be allowed to serve as condo directors at the same time.
There is nothing wrong with husband and wife both serving as condo directors, although some may view this as one household having excessive influence over the affairs of the corporation. So long as directors recuse themselves on matters directly affecting them, this does not need to be a problem.
Communities that find it difficult to find individuals, or qualified and capable individuals, to serve as condo directors may find that allowing husband and wife to both serve as condo directors is the only way to find a sufficient number of qualified and capable candidates.
