AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•Old rules still apply to things done before January 1, 2014.
•If something was okay under the old rules, it stays okay.
•This doesn’t cover the main rules (governing documents) of a neighborhood or building.

Example

In 2013, your neighborhood association made a rule about parking.

Even if the law changed in 2014, the old parking rule is still valid because it was made when the old law was in place.
