Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

Amending Condominium Bylaws

Does our condo association need an attorney to amend our bylaws? Or can we do it ourselves? The changes we would like to make are (1) prohibit renting and (2) permanently waive our right of first refusal in order to be accepted by FHA.

Thank you.

Re: Amending Condominium Bylaws

State or local law does not require a condo association to amend your bylaws, but do you know how to compose and record such an amendment or do you need the help of a real estate attorney? If so, please let me know. This answer does not constitute legal advice because you are not as yet my clients.

Thank you for your question. There is no legal requirement that you use an attorney. However, you would probably be best served by hiring one so that no mistakes are made. Good luck.
