Currently our bylaws reads: "Rules and Regulations. The Board shall make reasonable rules and regulations respecting the use of the project in the manner proved by the Master Deed. Rules and regulations of the Council, until amended, shall be as set forth in the Master Deed and in the Schedule attached hereto and made a part of these Bylaws." The part that I need clarification on is "until amended, shall be as set forth in the Master Deed and in the Schedule attached hereto and made a part of these Bylaws." Does this mean that they have to be attached to the master deed or bylaws and therefore require an attorney? Or do we just type them up and pass them out to all homeowners?

SandyA,

My read is that there are rules and regs. currently in your Master Deed that the board can reasonably amend. Until new rules are made, the rules that are in the Master Deed shall (must) continue. In other words, follow the rules until new ones are made. Yes, the rules become part of the by-laws and master deed. No, making new rules does not require an attorney but it might not hurt. New rules must comply with state law so as not to restrict owner's rights (flag placement and display, FCC rulings regarding satellite dishes, etc.), but to protect the common and limited elements, and the safety of the association.

Best of success!!
