7        (l) Method of adopting and of amending administrative
8    rules and regulations governing the operation and use of
9    the common elements.
10        (m) The percentage of votes required to modify or amend

13        (n)(i) The provisions of this Act, the declaration,
14    bylaws, other condominium instruments, and rules and
15    regulations that relate to the use of the individual unit
16    or the common elements shall be applicable to any person

SB2480- 20 -LRB101 14257 LNS 63130 b

1    not charge a fee for filing a copy or memorandum of the
2    lease with the association or management company. In
3    addition to any other remedies, by filing an action jointly
4    against the tenant and the unit owner, an association may
5    seek to enjoin a tenant from occupying a unit or seek to
6    evict a tenant under the provisions of Article IX of the
7    Code of Civil Procedure for failure of the lessor-owner to
8    comply with the leasing requirements prescribed by this
9    Section or by the declaration, bylaws, and rules and
10    regulations. The board of managers may proceed directly

17        (p) That when 30% or fewer of the units, by number,

19    association, any percentage vote of members specified
20    herein or in the condominium instruments shall require the
21    specified percentage by number of units rather than by
22    percentage of interest in the common elements allocated to
23    units that would otherwise be applicable and garage units
24    or storage units, or both, shall have, in total, no more
25    votes than their aggregate percentage of ownership in the
26    common elements; this shall mean that if garage units or

 

 

SB2480- 21 -LRB101 14257 LNS 63130 b

1    storage units, or both, are to be given a vote, or portion
2    of a vote, that the association must add the total number
3    of votes cast of garage units, storage units, or both, and
4    divide the total by the number of garage units, storage
5    units, or both, and multiply by the aggregate percentage of
6    ownership of garage units and storage units to determine
7    the vote, or portion of a vote, that garage units or
8    storage units, or both, have. For purposes of this
9    subsection (p), when making a determination of whether 30%
10    or fewer of the units, by number, possess over 50% in the
11    aggregate of the votes in the association, a unit shall not
12    include a garage unit or a storage unit.
13        (q) That a unit owner may not assign, delegate,
14    transfer, surrender, or avoid the duties,
15    responsibilities, and liabilities of a unit owner under
16    this Act, the condominium instruments, or the rules and
17    regulations of the Association; and that such an attempted
18    assignment, delegation, transfer, surrender, or avoidance
19    shall be deemed void.
20    The provisions of this Section are applicable to all
21condominium instruments recorded under this Act. Any portion of
22a condominium instrument which contains provisions contrary to
23these provisions shall be void as against public policy and
24ineffective. Any such instrument which fails to contain the
25provisions required by this Section shall be deemed to
26incorporate such provisions by operation of law.
