Pennsylvania Uniform inium Act C.S. §§ 3101 to. 3414) was adopted in 1980 to govern the formation and operation of iniums. Prior to the UCA, iniums in Pennsylvania were governed by the since-repealed Unit Property Act. By definition, a inium is a form of real estate ownership.
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.
