With the possible exception of some institutional lenders, NO ONE may post signs in our common elements without prior written Board approval. The mailroom, Fitness Center, windows, glass doors and elevators are examples of areas included in this prohibition.
The specific requirement is “…no signs of any character shall be…posted or displayed…in...Common Elements without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors.” Those words are in our Market Street at Town Center Condominium Bylaws at article XI, section 1, paragraph (i) on page 53. You can view our Bylaws by clicking on this link:

The Board probably shouldn’t approve taping of signs to painted walls in the common elements because of potential for some types of tape to pull the paint off the wall surface when the tape is removed.
Sometimes there will be a legitimate need to post a sign before it is feasible to obtain Board approval. For example, it needs to be “legal” for committee chairpersons to post signs regarding revised committee meeting dates and times or places. Or our On-Site Manager may need to inform residents of fire alarm testing that she learns of only a few days before it is to take place. The Board can accommodate such unforeseeable urgent needs by passing a resolution that effectively gives blanket prior written approval for certain people (probably by position rather than by name) to post signs of a certain nature regarding certain subject matter at certain places in our common elements without further approval from the Board.
What the Board shouldn’t do is allow the bylaw to be ignored. Allowing the bylaw to be ignored suggests that our bylaws and rules and regulations don’t necessarily have to be followed.
