Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

Re: Ways to get around owner occupied rules

It's hard to give a good answer without seeing the specific language of the amendment that was made to the condo declaration. Typically we'll include exceptions for various relative groups but that wouldn't help you. If there isn't an exception or if you aren't somehow grandfathered in is to sell it to your friend perhaps on a land contract. This is sort of like a lease-to-own.
