Legal Research Home > Pennsylvania Statutes

     § 3217.  Declarant's offices, models and signs.
        (a)  Common elements.--A declarant may maintain offices and
     models in the common element portion of the condominium only in
     connection with the management, sale or rental of units owned by
     the declarant in the condominium if the declaration so provides
     and specifies the rights of a declarant with regard to the
     number, size, location and relocation thereof. At such time as a
     declarant ceases to be a unit owner, he ceases to have any
     rights with regard to such portions of the common elements so
     used unless such portions are removed promptly from the
     condominium in accordance with a right to remove reserved in the
     declaration. Upon the relocation of a model or office
     constituting a common element, a declarant may remove all
     personal property and fixtures therefrom. Any fixtures not so
     removed shall be deemed common elements, and any personal
     property not so removed shall be deemed the property of the
     association.
        (b)  Signs.--Subject to any limitations in the declaration, a
     declarant may maintain signs in his units and on the common
     elements advertising units in the condominium owned by the
     declarant for sale or lease.
        (c)  Units.--A declarant shall have the right to locate,
     relocate and maintain offices and models used only in connection
     with the management, sale or rental of units owned by the
     declarant in the condominium in his unit or units in the
     condominium, notwithstanding the fact that the declaration would
     otherwise preclude use of units for such purpose, but subject to
     all other provisions in the declaration, including, without
     limitation, modification or elimination of declarant's rights
     pursuant to this subsection by specific reference thereto.
