God read your Lease the Managment Company of which you are a shareholder can access your apartment in the case of an emergency and will break down the door if necessary. How would you feel if the preson upstairs left the bath running and water was flowing down you walls but because nobody knew how to contact the owner you just had to look at the water feature. If there is a suspected fire or gas leak are all just to wait till it hits the common areas. They dont wander around checking if your decor. This is all in that document you signed without reading. Change your locks etc if you want but if they want in they will get the door down one way or another. Or solve the problem and make sure they have your contact details!!!!!
I was in this situation (couple in top floor apartment went away for the weekend and left a tap running. Water began soaking through my ceiling and down my sitting room wall.) I rang the management company, who had no phone number for the couple. They had to get a locksmith to come over and dismantle the lock in order that we could go in and switch off the tap. Even at that, the locksmith asked me if I would go in and switch it off, rather than him. There was no question of the management company having a key to an individual apartment or anyone connected to them thinking they had a right to just walk in to someone's home. I would be furious if I thought the Management Company had a key to my place. Any crook or criminal could be working there and gain access if they wanted.God read your Lease the Managment Company of which you are a shareholder can access your apartment in the case of an emergency and will break down the door if necessary.

My thoughts exactly. This is your private home. You have a right to decide who has a key. Let them break my door down or get a locksmith in an emergency situation - but I certainly would not give the management company a key. One of the first things I did when I got the keys to my place was changed the locks - I did not feel secure until I knew where all the working keys were.
OP, I would change the locks immediately, if you haven't done it already
First thing I did was change one of the locks. You could give keyholder details (e.g. family members) to the management company for use in event of emergency.
No-one can 'refuse' to be voted off. If he is still a director, it is because others didn't go up against him, or he is a nominee of the developer who still controls the management company.Our management co. is run by a 'scam artist' (apt. owner) - everyone afraid of him, he refused to be voted off and is very aggressive.
