What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan. Our site condo shares a lake with private owners and the state of Michigan. The lake is listed as a "no restrictions" body of water, and has a state access ramp. The board, (which would like to limit traffic on the water), would like to pass a rule forcing us to screen our vacation renters based on their intent to use this lake, ie., placing a statement in our rental agreement, stating that "no jet skis are allowed". A lawyer on the board claimed he could produce "case law" in support of the rights of the condo to control renters in this way, and the conservation officer didn't contradict him. Even if it was legal for us to discriminate in this way, would it be legal for the condo to force us?

The condo association cannot control what your renters do at the state access ramp, but they certainly can prevent jet skies from being brought onto the condo's property.

**A: Isn't a jet skie a small helicopter?
What are you thinking of HG. A jetski is a jet made in Poland.:eek:



just so folks don't ream me for the Polish joke. It's just a joke.


I am Polski and in no way believe we are inferior to any other ethnicity. In fact, in general, I believe we are superior to most.:D
