FAQ

The inium bylaws govern the structure and operation of the association. They contain information regarding board meetings, elections, board terms, voting procedures, and the like. The bylaws are more about the management of the association than the rules that govern it and its members.

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.

The bylaws go into detail about individual roles, terms, how to elect the President, and may list board powers one by one. The Declarations define the use and occupancy rules of the units and common areas. Condo bylaws outline the remedies for breach of these rules.

On the other hand, condo owners are responsible for maintaining the interior of their units. This includes repairs to walls, floors, plumbing, electrical systems, and appliances within the unit itself. If applicable, condo owners should also maintain any private spaces, such as balconies.

Generally speaking, the declaration is the document that creates the inium. The bylaws spell out the day-to-day operations of the association. If your association is more than 10 years old and the bylaws have remained unchanged, board members may want to consider making updates.

Ultimately, one of the main purposes of a condo association is to ensure your safety and convenience, as well as that of the other unit owners and residents in your complex or building. Another objective is maintaining property values so the community continues to be a good investment.

In a inium, the common facilities are owned directly by the unit owners as an interest appurtenant to the units. In a planned community, the common facilities are owned by the association, and each unit owner has a membership interest in that association because they hold the title to their unit.

Pennsylvania law now permits a four-day school week. Legislation signed into law in December amended the Pennsylvania School Code. Districts now can choose between 180 school days and hourly instruction requirements: 900 for elementary students and 990 for secondary students.

The Pennsylvania General Assembly enacted Act 115, which amends Title 68 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes and impacts the governance of homeowners associations (also known as planned communities), inium associations and cooperatives in the Commonwealth.
