§ 6602 Common Interest Development Deeds

Key Takeaways

  • •Rules for shared housing (like condos) should be read in a way that helps things run smoothly.
  • •If one rule in the housing documents is unfair or doesn’t work, the rest of the rules can still be used.
  • •Other laws about property won’t automatically cancel out the rules set for the shared housing.

Example

A condo building has a rule that says no pets allowed, but one owner has a service dog.

Even if the 'no pets' rule seems unfair in this case, the other rules (like quiet hours or pool rules) still apply. The unfair rule might be changed or ignored, but the rest stay in place.

Nothing in Article 3 (commencing with Section 715) of Chapter 2 of Title 2 of Part 1 of Division 2 shall operate to invalidate any provisions of the governing documents. (Added by Stats. 2013, Ch. 605, Sec. 21. (SB 752) Effective January 1, 2014.)
