Oh boy. You should go to the bank, explain the situation and see what options are available to you. The bank may be able to issue a new account number and new checks. Also, check with your principal. Sometimes the principal's name is on the account. If that's not the case, they may still be able to help you.
As it is almost September, it is very concerning to hear that the old board won't turn over the checkbook. Even if there are outstanding checks, it is no longer their concern.
As far as the other information they are refusing to hand over, that is a huge pain in the neck, but, sometimes groups do end up recreating work/contact lists, etc. because of uncooperative outgoing board members.
Focus on squaring away the finances first.
Good luck!

Our bylaws state that our amenities are for property owners in good standing. Our new board has written a document with a waiver to give renters use of amenities. It clearing states in our bylaws, renters do not get use of amenities. They are saying he state requires us to do this, but cannot produce a document. What can we do?
