"socrateaser" Trying to get a handle on the following: When a potential buyer of a coop unit submits their package to the board is there any limitations on the number of times they can reject the buyer, if so do they need to give a reason and what happens when they reach their limit and what can the seller do? Is there any such rule for a condo? Does such a process exist when the owner wants to rent their unit? Can the board take any action against the
Optional Information: Country relating to Question: United States
There is no limit on the board's ability to reject a purchase offer. The only limit is that if there is evidence of unlawful discrimination (race, color, nationality, religion, sex, age or Disability), then the prospective buyer can file a complaint with U.S. Housing and Urban Development.Concerning a rental, the covenants and/or bylaws control the owner's ability to sublet a coop. A coop tenant cannot simply sublet an apartment despite NY RPL 226-b, which requires subleasing of an apartment under reasonable conditions (for any coop proprietary coop lease established on or after June 3, 1975). This is in contrast to a condominium where the owner is the landlord and so he/she generally has the right to rent his unit.Hope this helps.
