Denial or Failure to Timely Approve Applications

Applications for
Occupancy -
Approve or Not to
Approve
It seems more common than ever that applications for potential purchasers and renters
of units are rejected by associations.

However, boards of directors should be very careful if they choose to not timely
approve such applications.

Associations may not reject potential buyers or renters unless there is a valid right for
such approval expressly contained within the Declaration.

The Declaration will specify the deadline for the Board of Directors to either approve
or reject (also sometimes referred to as deny or object) the application and failure to
do so may result in the application as "deemed approved".  

Boards of Directors must not arbitrarily deny applications, may not selectively enforce
the rules by singling-out one owner and not others, may not unlawfully discriminate and
must otherwise be careful when reviewing applications for purchases and rentals
