Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

Re: Overly restrictive condominium rules

She should be stopped at a condo assoc. meeting. Such changes in rules generally require at least a majority of the owners to actively vote for them, to start with. Even if she has "seized power", she can't change the rules alone. Many times a change in rules requires 2/3 or more of the owners. Let me see some documents: the condo rules (as recorded with the deeds), and the proposed rule change.

There can be constitutional issues of various sorts. This could be seen as a way to discourge children in the community. It also verges upon a taking of property rights from the rightful owners without due process. But the rule is to start simple, at the roots, so to speak, and fight it there. Have your children go to the meetings if they are owners and oppose it.

Re: Overly restrictive condominium rules

I see that you're within Massachusetts, as am I.

Please contact me if the condo is in Eastern Mass. and I might be able to be of more help.
