Woodside Village Condominium Association Inc v. Jahren
Facts
Condominiums are required by law to record a declaration of the condominium in order to avail itself of condominium protections. Condominiums typically amend there declarations from time to time. Woodside Village Condominium’s original declaration allowed leasing of all units. If that lease where longer than a year the owner needed board approval first. Then Woodside filed an amendment that required all leases and renewal of leases to first get board approval. The owners of Woodside became upset when too many properties had tenants rather than owners in the units. This impacts property value and life at the condominium complex. So Woodside filed another amendment which stated that all leases could only last 9 months out the year and each unit needed to be owner-occupied for at least the first year of ownership. This amendment was voted in by 2/3 of the unit owners as required by the Declaration. A year after this amendment Jahren received notification that he was in violation of this restriction. Jahren refused to comply. Woodside brought sought to require compliance.
