What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois.
My mom just had a buyer rejected by the condo board. The bylaws state that you can't rent out your unit, that the max capacity is 4 adults and has to be 'family.'
Our buyer is a young girl who was planning on living in the unit with her cousin and the cousin's husband. She was rejected. (We were aware of the cousin, but not the cousin's husband).
There are boyfriends and girlfriends living together, as well as 2 men on the 2nd floor (don't know if they're partners or just roommates).
Is there any action that can be taken? Is cousin not considered family? How much authority does an HOA have?
In addition, my mom has a 2 bedroom unit where she has put a wall up in what was the dining area to make it a 3 bedroom unit. The HOA told the buyer point blank that my mom is a liar and has a 2 bedroom unit. As an aside, this HOA has had a few issues with my mom already, basically, she's on their radar and I personally feel that that is what the real issue is....
any advice would be appreciated...
