TN Code § 66-27-310 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 27 - Multiple Ownership of Property|Part 3 - Tennessee Condominium Act of 2008 — Units and Allocation of Common and Limited Elements|§ 66-27-310. Exercise of Development Rights

  To exercise any development right reserved under § 66-27-305(a)(7), the declarant shall prepare, execute, and record an amendment to the declaration pursuant to § 66-27-317 and comply with § 66-27-309. The declarant is the unit owner of any units thereby created. The amendment to the declaration must assign an identifying number to each new unit created, and, except in the case of subdivision or conversion of units described in subsection (b), reallocate the allocated interests among all units. The amendment must describe any common elements and any limited common elements thereby created and, in the case of limited common elements, designate the unit to which each is allocated to the extent required by § 66-27-308.   Development rights may be reserved within any real estate added to the condominium if the amendment adding that real estate includes all matters required by § 66-27-305 or § 66-27-306, as the case may be, and the plats and plans include all matters required by § 66-27-309. This subsection (b) does not extend any time limit on the exercise of development rights imposed by the declaration.   Whenever a declarant exercises a development right to subdivide or convert a unit previously created into additional units or common elements, or both:  If the declarant converts the unit entirely to common elements, the amendment to the declaration must reallocate all the allocated interests of that unit among the other units as if that unit had been taken by eminent domain pursuant to § 66-27-207.   If the declarant subdivides the unit into two (2) or more units, whether or not any part of the unit is converted into common elements, the amendment to the declaration must reallocate all the allocated interests of the unit among the units created by the subdivision in any reasonable manner prescribed by the declarant.     If the declaration provides, pursuant to § 66-27-305(a)(7), that all or a portion of the real estate is subject to the development right of withdrawal:  If all the real estate is subject to withdrawal, and the declaration does not describe separate portions of real estate subject to that right, none of the real estate may be withdrawn after a unit has been conveyed to a purchaser; and   If a portion or portions are subject to withdrawal, no portion may be withdrawn after a unit in that portion has been conveyed to a purchaser.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 27 - Multiple Ownership of Property|Part 3 - Tennessee Condominium Act of 2008 — Units and Allocation of Common and Limited Elements|§ 66-27-311. Alterations of Units

 Subject to the declaration and other law, a unit owner:   May make any improvements or alterations to the unit owner's unit that do not impair the structural integrity or mechanical systems or lessen the support of any portion of the condominium;   May not change the appearance of the common elements, or the exterior appearance of a unit or any other portion of the condominium, without permission of the association; and   After acquiring an adjoining unit or an adjoining part of an adjoining unit, may remove or alter any intervening partition or create apertures in the intervening partition, even if the partition, in whole or in part, is a common element, if those acts do not impair the structural integrity or mechanical systems or lessen the support of any portion of the condominium. Removal of partitions or creation of apertures under this subdivision (3) is not an alteration of boundaries. The owner of any adjoining unit affected by the removal of partitions or creation of apertures shall have the right to restore the removed partitions to their original condition or to close any apertures created.
TN Code § 66-27-312 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 27 - Multiple Ownership of Property|Part 3 - Tennessee Condominium Act of 2008 — Units and Allocation of Common and Limited Elements|§ 66-27-312. Relocation of Boundaries Between Adjoining Units

  Subject to the declaration and other law, the boundaries between adjoining units may be relocated by an amendment to the declaration upon application to the association by the owners of those units. If the owners of the adjoining units have specified a reallocation between their units of their allocated interests, the application must state the proposed reallocations. Unless the board of directors determines within thirty (30) days that the reallocations are unreasonable, the association shall prepare an amendment, at the expense of the affected unit owners, that identifies the units involved, states the reallocations, is executed by those unit owners and the association, to evidence compliance with this subsection (a), contains words of conveyance between the affected unit owners, and upon recordation, is indexed in the name of the grantor and the grantee.   The association shall prepare and record plats or plans necessary to show the altered boundaries between adjoining units, and their dimensions and identifying numbers, at the expense of the applicant owners.
TN Code § 66-27-313 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 27 - Multiple Ownership of Property|Part 3 - Tennessee Condominium Act of 2008 — Units and Allocation of Common and Limited Elements|§ 66-27-313. Subdivision of Units

  In addition to any development rights relating to the subdivision of units that may be reserved to the declarant, if the declaration expressly so permits, a unit owner may subdivide a unit into two (2) or more units. Subject to the declaration and other law, upon application of a unit owner to subdivide a unit, the association shall prepare, execute, and record an amendment to the declaration, including the plats and plans, subdividing that unit, at the expense of the owner of the unit to be subdivided.   The amendment to the declaration must be executed by the owner of the unit to be subdivided, assign an identifying number to each unit created, and reallocate the allocated interests formerly allocated to the subdivided unit to the new units in any reasonable manner prescribed by the owner of the subdivided unit.
TN Code § 66-27-314 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 27 - Multiple Ownership of Property|Part 3 - Tennessee Condominium Act of 2008 — Units and Allocation of Common and Limited Elements|§ 66-27-314. Monuments as Boundaries

 The existing physical boundaries of a unit or the physical boundaries of a unit reconstructed in substantial accordance with the original plats and plans of the unit become its boundaries rather than the metes and bounds expressed in the deed or plat or plan, regardless of settling or lateral movement of the building, or minor variance between boundaries shown on the plats or plans or in the deed and those of the building. This section does not relieve a unit owner of liability in case of the owner's willful misconduct nor relieve a declarant or any other person of liability for failure to adhere to the plats and plans.
TN Code § 66-27-315 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 66 - Property|Chapter 27 - Multiple Ownership of Property|Part 3 - Tennessee Condominium Act of 2008 — Units and Allocation of Common and Limited Elements|§ 66-27-315. Use for Sales Purposes

 A declarant may maintain sales offices, management offices, and models in units owned by the declarant. The declarant may maintain sales offices on common elements in the condominium only if the declaration so provides and specifies the rights of a declarant with regard to the sales offices. Any sales office, management office, or model not designated a unit by the declaration is a common element, and if a declarant ceases to be a unit owner or holder of a development right to create additional units, the declarant ceases to have any rights with regard to the units or in any personal property owned by the declarant and used in connection with the units, unless it is removed from the condominium after notice from the association specifying a reasonable period for the removal. Subject to any limitations in the declaration, a declarant may maintain signs on the common elements advertising the condominium. Any rights reserved to the declarant under this section may be exercised by an agent of the declarant. This section is subject to other state law and local ordinances.

  Except in cases of amendments that may be executed by a declarant under § 66-27-309(f) or § 66-27-310, the association under § 66-27-207, § 66-27-306(d), § 66-27-308(c), § 66-27-312(a), or § 66-27-313, or certain unit owners under § 66-27-308(b), § 66-27-312(a), § 66-27-313(b), or § 66-27-318(b), and except as limited by subsections (d) or (e) of this section, the declaration, including the plats and plans, may be amended only by vote or agreement of unit owners of units to which at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the votes in the association are allocated, or any larger majority the declaration specifies. The declaration may specify a smaller percentage only if all of the units are restricted exclusively to nonresidential use.   No action to challenge the validity of an amendment adopted by the association pursuant to this section may be brought more than one (1) year after the amendment is recorded.   Every amendment to the declaration must be recorded in every county in which any portion of the condominium is located, and is effective only upon recordation. An amendment shall be indexed in the grantee's index in the name of the condominium and the association and in the grantor's index in the name of the parties executing the amendment.   Except to the extent expressly permitted or required by part 1, this part and parts 4 and 5 of this chapter, no amendment may change the boundaries of any unit, or the allocated interests of a unit, or prohibit the leasing of any unit, in the absence of the consent of all affected unit owners.   Except to the extent expressly permitted or required by part 1, this part and parts 4 and 5 of this chapter, no amendment may increase special declarant rights without the consent of sixty-seven percent (67%) of the votes of the association other than the declarant.   Amendments to the declaration required by part 1, this part and parts 4 and 5 of this chapter to be recorded by the association shall be prepared, executed, recorded, and certified on behalf of the association by any officer of the association designated for that purpose or, in the absence of designation, by the president of the association.

 The declaration may require that all or a specified number or percentage of the mortgagees or beneficiaries of deeds of trust encumbering the units approve specified actions of the unit owners or the association as a condition to the effectiveness of those actions, but no requirement for approval may operate to deny or delegate control over the general administrative affairs of the association by the unit owners or the board of directors, or prevent the association or the board of directors from commencing, intervening in, or settling any litigation or proceeding, or receiving and distributing any insurance proceeds except pursuant to § 66-27-413.

  If the declaration for a condominium provides that any of the powers described in § 66-27-402 are to be exercised by or may be delegated to a profit or nonprofit corporation, or unincorporated association, that exercises those or other powers on behalf of one (1) or more condominiums or for the benefit of the unit owners of one (1) or more condominiums, all provisions of part 1, this part and parts 4 and 5 of this chapter applicable to unit owners' associations apply to any such corporation, or unincorporated association, except as modified by this section.   Unless a master association is acting in the capacity of an association described in § 66-27-401, it may exercise the powers set forth in § 66-27-402(a)(2) only to the extent expressly permitted in the declarations of condominiums that are part of the master association or expressly described in the delegations of power from those condominiums to the master association.   If the declaration of any condominium provides that the board of directors may delegate certain powers to a master association, the members of the board of directors have no liability for the acts or omissions of the master association with respect to those powers following delegation.   The rights and responsibilities of unit owners with respect to the unit owners' association set forth in §§ 66-27-403, 66-27-408 — 66-27-410 and 66-27-412 apply in the conduct of the affairs of a master association only to those persons who elect the board of a master association, whether or not those persons are otherwise unit owners within the meaning of part 1, this part, and parts 4 and 5 of this chapter.   Notwithstanding § 66-27-403(f) with respect to the election of the board of directors of an association, by all unit owners after the period of declarant control ends, and even if a master association is also an association described in § 66-27-401, the certificate of incorporation or other instrument creating the master association and the declaration of each condominium, the powers of which are assigned by the declaration or delegated to the master association, may provide that the board of directors of the master association must be elected after the period of declarant control in any of the following ways:  All unit owners of all condominiums subject to the master association may elect all members of that board of directors;   All members of the board of directors of all condominiums subject to the master association may elect all members of that board of directors;   All unit owners of each condominium subject to the master association may elect specified members of that board of directors; or   All members of the board of directors of each condominium subject to the master association may elect specified members of that board of directors.
