  1. TITLE 47. LAND AND LAND TITLES
  2. CHAPTER 828*. COMMON INTEREST OWNERSHIP ACT
  3. PART II*. CREATION, ALTERATION AND TERMINATION OF COMMON INTEREST COMMUNITIES

(a) The declaration may require that all or a specified number or percentage of the lenders who hold security interests encumbering the units or who have extended credit to the association and whose consent rights have been granted by agreement, approve specified actions of the unit owners or the association as a condition to the effectiveness of those actions, but no requirement for approval may operate to (1) deny or delegate control over the general administrative affairs of the association by the unit owners or the executive board, or (2) prevent the association or the executive board from commencing, intervening in or settling any litigation or proceeding, or (3) prevent any insurance trustee or the association from receiving and distributing any insurance proceeds except pursuant to section 47-255.

(b) A lender who has extended credit to an association secured by an assignment of income or an encumbrance on the common elements may enforce its security agreement in accordance with its terms, subject to the requirements of this chapter and other law. Requirements that the association must deposit its periodic common charges before default with the lender to which the association's income has been assigned, or increase its periodic common charges at the lender's direction by amounts reasonably necessary to amortize the loan in accordance with its terms, or to have a court appointed receiver of the association collect and disburse common charges after default, do not violate the prohibitions on lender approval contained in subsection (a) of this section.
