Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania
I am a PA condo owner and I proposed to have a community wide yard sale to which a vote was taken and the majority of respondents said yes to having yard sales. The mgmt at the HOA is now saying that they do not want yard sales regardless of the vote. What part of the condo act applies to this potential legal action and how should I proceed with the HOA to enforce the election results?

Check the condo bylaws and rules and regulations. There may be something that prohibits yard sales despite the vote for it. If there is no prohibition, you and the other owners may want to ask the management to check with legal counsel as to why management is overruling the majority vote.
THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.
* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.
* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
