Condo Q&A

Too many people occupying HOA unit

Written by CondoAssociation.com | Thu, Nov 10, 2016 @ 12:30 AM
Our documents state that no more than three people per unit. We have a two bedroom condo. Recently we have discovered that there is a unit with four people living in it. The condos are not build to handle four people. The second bedroom is not big enough to hold large bedroom furniture. Its only good if the kids stay over for the weekend. Not permanent housing. Since I'm on the board I have asked our management company to sent notice to this unit that our documents state only three people can occupy the unit. The management company tells me that federal and state statutes says that four people can occupy a unit. They said we can send a letter but if they protest, we have no case. Who is right, Our documents that were drafted by the contractor and his lawyers or the state?
