Which of the following can a cooperative association not do?

A cooperative association generally does not have the authority to evict tenants at will. In most jurisdictions, tenant eviction is governed by specific laws and procedures that require a valid reason for eviction, such as non-payment of rent or violating lease terms. This means that a cooperative, acting on behalf of its members, must follow due process and adhere to relevant laws regarding tenant rights and evictions. Arbitrary or willful eviction without following these legal procedures is not permissible and would likely lead to legal challenges.

In contrast, the other options refer to actions that are typically within the authority of a cooperative association. Establishing rules for unit use is a common practice, as cooperatives maintain regulations for shared living to ensure a harmonious community. Changing ownership typically requires notified protocols; however, cooperative policies allow for internal processes regarding member ownership transfers, albeit usually with proper communication and guidance. Finally, holding a properly noticed board meeting is a fundamental part of governance for any cooperative, allowing members to participate in decision-making processes effectively.
