Iniums in Pennsylvania are governed by the Uniform inium Act, 68 Pa. Stat. §§ 3101 to 3414 (the “UCA”). Although “inium” is a term generally used to refer to an individually-owed unit, it is also a form of ownership where property other than the individual unit is deemed to be common property.

How to write a letter to your board or manager Start with the date, sender and recipient information. You do not need to include the date or address of the recipient if you are sending an email. Write a clear and concise subject line. Get to the point. Offer a solution, if possible. Thank the recipient for their time.
Is there any way to get around HOA rules? While you can propose rule changes through proper channels, there's no legal way to simply ignore or “get around” the HOA's covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that you agreed to when purchasing in the community.
The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.
