Sec. 47. (1) Subject to the prohibitions and restrictions in the inium documents, a co-owner may make improvements or alterations within a inium unit that do not impair the structural integrity of a structure or otherwise lessen the support of a portion of the inium project.
First, the individuals or parties desiring the change will propose an amendment, and then a vote takes place on whether to approve the proposed change. The voters will include the co-owners and mortgagees of properties within the association. For the amendment to pass, there must be a two-thirds approval vote.
Sec. 67. (1) A change in a inium project shall be reflected in an amendment to the appropriate inium document. An amendment to the inium document is subject to sections 90, 90a, and 91.
(2) Except as provided in this section, the master deed, bylaws, and inium subdivision plan may be amended, even if the amendment will materially alter or change the rights of the co-owners or mortgagees, with the consent of not less than 2/3 of the votes of the co-owners and mortgagees.
Section 57 of the Act provides that all books, records, contracts, and financial statements concerning the administration and operation of the inium project shall be available for examination by any of the co-owners at convenient times.
If the inium instruments do not provide otherwise, 2/3 unit owner approval is required to amend the governing documents. The inium instruments can provide for necessary approval of up to 3/4 owner approval, however. The approved amendment would then be recorded and would become effective upon recording.
Your inium doesn't have a lifespan, but the corporation managing it has one. In the Philippines, 50 years is the lifespan of all companies and corporations, big or small. However, the corporation can still be renewed for another 50 years, so your inium ownership does not necessarily end at that point.
A inium (or condo for short) is an ownership regime in which a building (or group of buildings) is divided into multiple units that are either each separately owned, or owned in common with exclusive rights of occupation by individual owners.
Inium is a Latin word that means "Owning property together." That's what it is like when someone buys a condo unit. They have an "interest" in the land beneath the building, but the building's association owns the actual land.
Ownership of a inium unit is evidenced by a inium certificate of title. With respect to real property other than land and inium units, there is no system that is equivalent to the Torrens system for registration under which a document is issued to evidence the owner's title.
