We just hired a couple of attorneys who work together so of course they will check on this for us. But I would like to hear some of your views on this item.
We are a senior condominium (apartment style) in NE in one building with 43 units that was built by a church group and established as a condominium in February of 1981.
According to our documents (which we hope to update with the help of the attornies) the declarant (builder of our building) still has the "first right of refusal" before an owner can sell a unit.
Some of our owners are under the impression that the church group that built the building still owns the "common areas". It is my understanding that the owners of each unit owns the "common areas" (including the protion of the parking lot that is on our property.) according the the percentage that is assigned to his or her unit.
I think that the lawyers may come to the same conclusion that I have. But if this is the case at least it will have the weight of "a lawyer's opinion. If it is not true than we can work on correcting this problem.
