Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

This amendment adds detailed rules for how condo owners can formally requisition (request) a meeting of owners, including required form content, delivery methods, board response timelines, withdrawal procedures, and how a revised requisition works. It also introduces new rules tied to "non-leased voting units" — owner-occupied units not subject to a lease — including how such owners can nominate candidates for reserved board positions and how that status is determined from the corporation's lease records. Common elements condominium corporations are explicitly exempted from several of these new provisions. Transition rules clarify that the new requisition and meeting processes apply only to meetings where the preliminary notice is sent after the new rules take effect, and that existing requisitions received before that date continue under the old rules. Condo boards, property managers, and owners who want to call or participate in owner meetings should familiarize themselves with the new requisition form requirements and the rules around non-leased voting unit positions.
