Anne Peters owns the property at 915 Sea Crest Drive in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Cedar 28 Condominium Association (“the Association”) makes the following Litigation Disclosure Statement pursuant to Minnesota Common Interest Ownerships Act, Minn. Stat. § 515 B.4-107(b). The Association makes this disclosure in good faith based upon the best of its knowledge.

Generally speaking, the Master Deed, Bylaws or other restrictive covenant will charge the Board of Directors with enforcing these documents. Similarly, the terms of the governing documents and the Michigan Condominium Act require every owner to “…comply with the master deed, bylaws, and rules and regulations of the condominium project…” MCL 559.165. Accordingly, as a general rule, the Board of Directors of a Condominium Association or Homeowner Association is required to enforce the governing documents as written.

In contrast, the 2016 amendments to MCL 559.167, which became effective on September 21, 2016, created a new “reversion” process to eliminate “need not be built” units after the expiration of the six (6) year or ten (10) year statutory time periods. Newly created MCL 559.167(4) now requires 2/3 of the co-owners that are in good standing to vote to approve a “reversion” of “need not be built” units to common elements by adopting a declaration that will be recorded in the register of deeds after the expiration of the statutory time periods. If 2/3 co-owner approval is obtained, the condominium association must then send the declaration to a developer or successor developer at its last known address. The developer or successor developer may withdraw the land on which the units were to be located or amend the master deed to make the units “must be built” within the sixty (60) day time period. If the developer or successor developer fails to withdraw the land or amend the master deed within sixty (60) days, the condominium association may record the declaration, which becomes effective upon recording and the right to construct the “need not be built” units will be eliminated.

Florida Sublease Agreement is a legal contract signed by a sublessor to allow sub tenancy with the due permission by the original apartment owner. Such type of subleasing is suitable during sharing a residential or a part of it with the subtenant. This legal agreement grants the right to the tenant to collect monthly rent and a security deposit from the subtenant. However, the tenant is responsible for the rent payment to the apartment owner in spite of any financial agreement with the subtenant. All parties must sign this agreement along with the landlord in consent to sublease. It is essential that the tenant acquire Rental Application Form from the subtenant for evaluation of credentials and eligibility. Please

In Mt. Veron Park Association v Chantelle Clark, Michigan Court of Appeals Docket No. 323445 (December 29, 2015) (Unpublished), the Michigan Court of Appeals held that a Condominium Association could not create rules and regulations that were inconsistent with the maintenance responsibilities set forth in the Master Deed and Bylaws. Specifically, the Mt. Veron Park Association adopted a rule and regulation that indicated that all co-owners must paint must have their front doors painted dark brown. The Association requested that the co-owner paint her door dark brown. The co-owner argued that the Master Deed and Bylaws placed the responsibility for the cost of maintenance, repair and replacement of the door on the Association, even though

In this matter, the Co-Owners have no relationship with the Byrne. Of course, Byrne contends that the Co-Owners are “comprised of every person, firm or corporation which owns any condominium unit within the [complex],” and that the Co-Owners are responsible for “the care, upkeep and surveillance of all the buildings.” (Compl. ¶¶ 4, 10). Byrne, however, is not a person who “owns any condominium.” The only conduct alleged

Defendant Council of Co-Owners of the Tecumseh Condominium (the “Co-Owners”), by and through Craig D. Roswell, Esq., Bryant S. Green, Esq., and Niles, Barton & Wilmer, LLP, and hereby files this Reply in Support of its Motion to Dismiss, and in support thereof, states as follows:

In the original plate maps, the individual properties were much smaller and over half of the nearly 65 acres making up Windrush I was set aside as riding paths. A stable was planned for the corner of Havens Corners Rd. and Taylor Station. Before the first house was constructed, the developer dropped the idea of equestrian community in favor of larger lots and a planned development. Our POA was one of the very first community corporations in the State of Ohio. It differs from a condo association in that each home is a fee simple property and you own the inside, outside and the land surrounding your home. You are automatically a member of the POA when you buy a property in Windrush Creek POA and as such there are certain rules that apply to all properties in the association. Some of those rules are holdovers from the equestrian concept. Because there were bridle paths around, behind and between each property, no fences were allowed. This gives us a unique open feeling that remains today. Each home is unique, making us different than the planned cookie cutter condo communities. We each have a role in keeping Windrush Creek the special place in Franklin County that we love and call home. That is why it is so important to come to the Annual Meeting and help guide your community. You are literally packing your own parachute. Together we work to keep the value

am sorry (but not surprised) to learn about what happen to you. Dick Cavett’s adage “Abstinence is, surely the worst idea since chocolate-covered ants” certainly also applies to condominiums. When we first moved here a senior member of the ruling apparatchik (at the time) advised “don’t believe anything anyone here tells you, and never turn your back on them.” Since then (2003) the Big Boat Barren cult has been replaced by a Machiavellian group that falls somewhere between the Oprah Winfrey Book Club and the Scientologist in structure. Their objective, run this place in a manner that makes them happy and crush anyone with the temerity to complain.

The sales data were obtained for a new oceanside condominium complex consisting of two adjacent and connected eight-floor buildings. The complex contains over 200 units of equal size (approximately 500 square feet each). The

In addition, to the south of the Walker Property, there is Wells Park that is zoned as OTHER. Wells Park is managed through the city.
