What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
We looked at a 1 br coop and asked property mngt if they would allow 4 people (2 adults, 2 kids) in it. We planned on converting the dining room into a bedroom and putting the kids in there in bunk bed. The mngr spoke to coop board and was told no, it was too many people.
This week we find a sponsor unit in the same exact bldg. It's also 1br. Were wondering if we put offer in and sponsor accepts, since no board approval is needed, and say we end up getting it and moving in. Does coop board have any recourse to kick us out at that point?
I've already read the house rules and bylaws for it and it does not address the allowed number of occupants per unit.
I do know it meets NYC code as far as sqft per occupant.
Assuming that upon signing contracts and lease offering, that nothing in it prohibits us from having 4 people in it, are we going to be safe buying it?
