Q. Our condominium association's declaration states that no pets are allowed. A current owner is trying to sell to a family that has two cats and they are looking for the board to make an exception to the no pets rule.

Q. My condominium association passed an amendment to our Declaration years ago to restrict rentals to 2 units out of 15. I own a unit that I no longer want to live in, cannot sell because I owe more on the mortgage than it's worth and can't rent because we already have two rented units.

Q. I live in a 6-unit condo building. Our Bylaws require us to have three board members but only two owners, including myself, are willing to serve.

Q. I am the President of an 8-unit condominium association. One of the doors to the outside is accessible by only one unit. The owner of that unit is now treating the area outside that entryway as a part of his unit.
