Existing law requires consent from a specified percentage of condominium unit owners to amend a condominium declaration and prohibits obtaining consent through powers of attorney. In addition a unit owners' association is limited in the legal proceedings in which they can intervene and the courts are limited in the equitable remedies they can provide. This bill would prohibit the use of consents, waivers, and powers of attorney, to obtain unit owners' authorization to alter a condominium declaration. This bill would allow a unit owners' association to intervene in arbitration and mediation, in addition to litigation, and would give courts the authority to apply equitable remedies such as reformation, injunction, and declaratory actions to disputes involving the condominium declaration. This bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
