Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

9 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 7 mixed.

Tougher collections for condo-hotel owners

If rental program money is short and the rental contract allows it, the Administrator can bill owners for their share. The Administrator can sue, seize the unit, charge legal costs, deny use of the unit and common areas, or rent the unit to pay the debt. The Administrator can also fine owners and treat unpaid fines like basic fees. As the master deed allows, services like water, power, gas, phone, and internet can be shut off until payment.

Commercial units separate; unit changes need approval

A developer can mark units as commercial. Commercial units do not join the rental program or pay its admin costs unless the master deed says so, and their contract money is kept in separate accounts. In mixed projects, commercial owners usually cannot vote on administration or challenge the Administrator unless the master deed or law allows it. You cannot split, join, or change units without the votes the master deed requires and permits from the permitting office or municipality. With the required votes and permits, the Administrator can sell common property that is not essential.

Leases follow the unit; deeds show expiry

Lodging, residential, and commercial units can be sold or mortgaged on their own. If a rental contract was recorded, a later buyer is bound by it. A condo‑hotel can sit on leased land, a temporary surface right, or a usufruct if the landowner consents in a public deed and waives claims against unit owners. If the landowner did not consent to permanence, each deed must show when that right ends and when the unit’s property right expires.

Easier setup and recording of condo-hotels

A condo‑hotel can cover a whole building or only some units. The master deed does not need to set a minimum or maximum unit count. It must list each unit’s type and each share of common property, but filings can use simple per‑floor lists. A unit cannot be registered as a separate parcel until construction has started. If work is unfinished, the registry states what is done and what remains.

Expand, merge, convert, or end a regime

A condo‑hotel can be expanded or reduced with the votes set in the master deed. Adding new property needs plans and an appraisal, and that value sets registration fees. Two or more regimes can merge with the required votes, and the new regime replaces the old ones. Owners of a horizontal property can convert to a condo‑hotel with council approval and a permit, and most valuation and plan steps are waived unless areas change. A regime on a temporary lease, surface right, or usufruct ends when that right expires, unless the master deed says otherwise.

Faster approvals; administrator holds more power

The Administrator can amend the master deed, unless the change raises owners’ program costs or cuts common‑area rights; those changes also need owner consent as the deed requires. Once an action is approved, the Administrator can sign the documents alone. Votes can be taken without a meeting by written consent delivered by hand, mail, courier, or electronically with acknowledgment, using e‑signatures and within the set deadline or 90 days. The law confirms the developer, affiliates, successors, and their agents can serve as the Administrator.

Rental program rules and owner costs

Units in the rental program must be rented or available at least six months each year. The law defines ordinary and extraordinary common expenses and program expenses. Capital improvements are not billed in these categories unless the master deed or the rental contract allows them.

Ban on converting subsidized housing

The law bans converting subsidized or social‑interest housing into condo‑hotels. It protects affordable homes from being turned into tourist lodging.

These rules take effect now

This law takes effect immediately after approval. All rules apply now.
