2021 Pennsylvania Consolidated & Unconsolidated Statutes|Title 68 - REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY|Chapter 32 - Creation, Alteration and Termination of Condominiums|Section 3207 - Leasehold condominiums

§ 3207. Leasehold condominiums.   (a) Recording lease and contents of declaration.--Any lease the expiration or termination of which may terminate the condominium or reduce its size shall be recorded and the declaration shall state: (1) The recording data for the lease. (2) The date on which the lease is scheduled to expire. (3) A legally sufficient description of the real estate subject to the lease. (4) Any right of the unit owners to redeem the reversion and the manner whereby those rights may be exercised, or a statement that they do not have those rights. (5) Any right of the unit owners to remove any improvements within a reasonable time after the expiration or termination of the lease, or a statement that they do not have those rights. (6) Any rights of the unit owners to renew the lease and the conditions of any renewal, or a statement that they do not have those rights.  (b) Limitation on termination of leasehold interest.--After the declaration for a leasehold condominium is recorded, neither the lessor nor his successor in interest may terminate the leasehold interest of a unit owner who makes timely payment of his share of the rent and otherwise complies with all covenants which, if violated, would entitle the lessor to terminate the lease. A unit owner's leasehold interest is not affected by failure of any other person to pay rent or fulfill any other covenant.  (c) Merger of leasehold and fee simple interests.--Acquisition of the leasehold interest of any unit owner by the owner of the reversion or remainder does not merge the leasehold and fee simple interests unless the leasehold interests of all unit owners subject to that reversion or remainder are acquired.  (d) Reallocation of interests if number of units reduced.--If the expiration or termination of a lease decreases the number of units in a condominium, the common element interests, votes in the association and common expense liabilities shall be reallocated in accordance with section 3107 (relating to eminent domain) as though those units had been taken by eminent domain. Reallocations shall be confirmed by an amendment to the declaration prepared, executed and recorded by the association.    Cross References.

§ 3209. Limited common elements.   (a) Allocation.--Except for the limited common elements described in section 3202(2) and (4) (relating to unit boundaries), the declaration shall specify to which unit or units each limited common element is allocated. That allocation may not be altered without the consent of the unit owners whose units are affected.  (b) Reallocation.--Subject to any provisions of the declaration, a limited common element may be reallocated by a recorded assignment executed by the unit owners between or among whose units the reallocation is made, or by an amendment to the declaration executed by those unit owners. The persons executing the assignment or amendment to the declaration shall provide a copy thereof to the association.  (c) Common elements not previously allocated.--A common element not previously allocated as a limited common element may not be so allocated except pursuant to provisions in the declaration made in accordance with section 3205(7) (relating to contents of declaration; all condominiums).

2021 Pennsylvania Consolidated & Unconsolidated Statutes|Title 68 - REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY|Chapter 32 - Creation, Alteration and Termination of Condominiums|Section 3211 - Conversion and expansion of flexible condominiums

§ 3211. Conversion and expansion of flexible condominiums.   (a) General rule.--To convert convertible real estate or add additional real estate pursuant to an option reserved under section 3206(1) (relating to contents of declaration; flexible condominiums), the declarant shall prepare, execute and record an amendment to the declaration (section 3219) and comply with section 3210 (relating to plats and plans). The declarant is the unit owner of any units thereby created. The amendment to the declaration must assign an identifying number to each unit formed in the convertible or additional real estate and reallocate common element interests, votes in the association and common expense liabilities. The amendment must describe or delineate any limited common elements formed out of the convertible or additional real estate, showing or designating the unit to which each is allocated to the extent required by section 3209 (relating to limited common elements).  (b) Creations within additional real estate.--Convertible or withdrawable real estate may be created within any additional real estate added to the condominium if the amendment adding that real estate includes all matters required by section 3205 (relating to contents of declaration; all condominiums) or section 3206 (relating to contents of declaration; flexible condominiums), as the case may be, and the plat includes all matters required by section 3210(b) (relating to plats and plans). This provision does not extend the time limit on conversion or contraction of a flexible condominium imposed by the declaration pursuant to section 3206(2).  (c) Liability for expenses and right to income.--Until conversion occurs or the period during which conversion may occur expires, whichever occurs first, the declarant alone is liable for real estate taxes assessed against convertible real estate and all other expenses in connection with that real estate. No other unit owner and no other portion of the condominium is subject to a claim for payment of those taxes or expenses. Unless the declaration provides otherwise, any income or proceeds from convertible real estate inures to the declarant.  (Dec. 18, 1992, P.L.1279, No.168, eff. 45 days)    Cross References.

§ 3212. Withdrawal of withdrawable real estate.   (a) General rule.--To withdraw withdrawable real estate from a flexible condominium pursuant to an option reserved under section 3206(1) (relating to contents of declaration; flexible condominiums), the declarant shall prepare, execute and record an amendment to the declaration containing a legally sufficient description of the real estate being withdrawn and stating the fact of withdrawal. The amendment must reallocate common element interests, votes in the association and common expense liabilities to the remaining units in the condominium in proportion to the respective interests, votes and liabilities of those units before the withdrawal, and the reallocation is effective when the amendment is recorded.  (b) When withdrawal prohibited.--If a portion of the withdrawable real estate was described pursuant to section 3206(6), that portion may not be withdrawn if any person other than the declarant owns a unit situated therein. If the portion was not so described, none of it is withdrawable if any person other than the declarant owns a unit situated therein.  (c) Liability for expenses and right to income.--Until withdrawal occurs or the period during which withdrawal may occur expires, whichever occurs first, the declarant alone is liable for real estate taxes assessed against withdrawable real estate and all other expenses in connection with that real estate. No other unit owner and no other portion of the condominium is subject to a claim for payment of those taxes or expenses. Unless the declaration provides otherwise, any income or proceeds from withdrawable real estate inures to the declarant.    Cross References.

§ 3214. Relocation of boundaries between adjoining units.   (a) General rule.--Subject to the provisions of the declaration and other provisions of 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 common element interests, votes in the association and common expense liabilities, the application must state the proposed reallocations. Unless the executive board determines, within 30 days, that the reallocations are unreasonable, the association shall prepare an amendment that identifies the units involved, states the reallocations, is executed by those unit owners, contains words of conveyance between them and, upon recordation, is indexed in the name of the grantor and the grantee.  (b) Preparing and recording plats or plans.--The association shall prepare and record plats or plans necessary to show the altered boundaries between adjoining units and their dimensions and identifying numbers.

Subject to the provisions of the declaration and other provisions of law, upon application of a unit owner to subdivide a unit or upon application of a declarant to convert a unit the association shall prepare, execute and record an amendment to the declaration, including the plats and plans, subdividing or converting that unit.  (b) Execution and contents of amendment.--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 common element interest, votes in the association and common expense liability formerly allocated to the subdivided unit to the new units in any reasonable manner prescribed by the owner of the subdivided unit.

§ 3216. Easement for encroachments.  To the extent that any unit or common element encroaches on any other unit or common element, a valid easement for the encroachment exists.

§ 3217. Declarant's offices, models and signs.   (a) Common elements.--A declarant may maintain offices and models in the common element portion of the condominium only in connection with the management, sale or rental of units owned by the declarant in the condominium if the declaration so provides and specifies the rights of a declarant with regard to the number, size, location and relocation thereof. At such time as a declarant ceases to be a unit owner, he ceases to have any rights with regard to such portions of the common elements so used unless such portions are removed promptly from the condominium in accordance with a right to remove reserved in the declaration. Upon the relocation of a model or office constituting a common element, a declarant may remove all personal property and fixtures therefrom. Any fixtures not so removed shall be deemed common elements, and any personal property not so removed shall be deemed the property of the association.

§ 3218. Easement to facilitate completion, conversion and expansion.  (1) Subject to the provisions of the declaration, a declarant has an easement through the common elements as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of discharging a declarant's obligations or exercising special declarant rights, however arising. (2) Without affecting the rights, if any, of each unit owner with respect to the use and enjoyment of the common elements, subject to the provisions of the declaration, each unit owner and its agents, contractors and invitees shall have a nonexclusive access easement through the common elements as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of construction, repair and renovation of the owner's unit.

(a) Secured lender approval.--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: (1) deny or delegate control over the general administrative affairs of the association by the unit owners or the executive board; or (2) prevent the association or the executive board from commencing, intervening in or settling any litigation or proceeding or receiving and distributing any insurance proceeds pursuant to section 3312 (relating to insurance).  (b) Secured lender approval procedures.--If the declaration requires mortgagees or beneficiaries of deeds of trust encumbering the units to approve specified actions of the unit owners or the association as a condition to the effectiveness of those actions, then the executive board will provide the lender with written notice of the specified action proposed to be taken, together with a request for the secured lender to approve or disapprove the actions specified. If the notice to the secured lender, issued in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection, states that the secured lender will be deemed to have approved the actions specified in the written notice if it does not respond to the request within 45 days and the secured lender does not respond in writing within 45 days, then the secured lender will be deemed for all purposes to have approved the actions specified in the notice. Written notice to the secured lender shall be given by certified, registered or first-class mail, as evidenced by United States Postal Service certificate of mailing, postage prepaid, at the address provided by the secured lender or, in the absence thereof, at the address of the secured lender endorsed on any mortgage or deed of trust of record and at the address to which the unit owner mails any periodic payment paid to the secured lender. The notice to the secured lender shall include a statement of the specified action and a copy of the full text of any proposed amendment and a form prepared by the association upon which the secured lender may indicate its approval or rejection of the specified action or amendment.
