An HOA's governing documents are usually in the form of a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and bylaws. The CC&Rs explain the rules of the HOA community, while the bylaws cover how the HOA operates.
The ByLaws is the corporate governance: The bylaws describe among other things, how the common expenses will be shared to maintain the building. Any restrictions on the use of the units and common areas. The bylaws are actually a part of the Master Deed itself.
A Master Deed is a legal document that outlines the rules and regulations for a inium or cooperative property. It's a document that's created by the developer of the property and it's used to govern how the property is managed and maintained.
Articles of Incorporation It's filed with the state upon the formation of the association. Coming in fourth on the HOA documents hierarchy means the Articles of Incorporation supersede the HOA bylaws and the operating rules.
A master deed is a legal document that a condiminium owner must file with the local government agency when a property is being divided in to condo units. The master deed contains details regarding where the inium property is located, how many units it will be divided into, and what the value of the property is.
The master deed. Affected unit owners and mortgage lenders must give written consent for changes. This means getting a certain number of unit owner votes – often 67% (two-thirds) or 75% (three-fourths), or even a supermajority of 80%.
House Rules are different from Bylaws in that they can be implemented and changed by the Board of Directors without the need for unit owner approval – which means that they can be changed more easily. Bylaws will very often set forth restrictions on the use of units in the condo.
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.
When a common interest development deteriorates to the point that basic safety and habitability are called into question, the local government authority must act to either force the owners to repair it, or failing that, to close it down.
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.
