Re: Condominium Law

This provision has been interpreted to mean that the owner is physically using the premises and is not otherwise residing somewhere else at the time of occupancy. For example, the owner is down from Ohio and is living for the next several weeks in the condo. If so, then 6 other individuals may join him for an overnight stay in the condo. This type of provision prevents an absentee owner from renting the premsies to large groups who cannot be held accountable by the condo association.
