Where this section sits in the code
  1. KRS Chapter 381

(1) A memorandum of lease shall be recorded with respect to any lease the expiration

or termination of which may terminate the condominium or reduce its size. Every

lessor of those leases shall sign the memorandum of lease, and the memorandum of

lease shall state:

(a) The elements of recording for the lease;

(b) The date on which the lease is scheduled to expire;

(c) A legally sufficient description of the real estate subject to the lease;

(d) Any right of the unit owners to redeem the reversion and the manner whereby

those rights may be exercised, or a statement that they do not have those

rights;

(e) Any right of the unit owners to remove any improvements within a reasonable

time after the expiration or termination of the lease, or a statement that they do

not have those rights; and

(f) Any rights of the unit owners to renew the lease and the conditions of any

renewal, or a statement that they do not have those rights.

(2) After the declaration for a leasehold condominium is recorded, neither the lessor

nor his or her successor in interest may terminate the leasehold interest of a unit

owner who makes timely payment of his or her share of the rent and otherwise

complies with all covenants which, if violated, would entitle the lessor to terminate

the lease. A uni t owner's leasehold interest is not affected by failure of any other

person to pay rent or fulfill any other covenant.

(3) Acquisition of the leasehold interest of any unit owner by the owner of the reversion

or remainder does not merge the leasehold and f ee simple interests unless the

leasehold interests of all unit owners subject to that reversion or remainder are

acquired.

(4) If the expiration or termination of a lease decreases the number of units in a

condominium, the allocated interests shall be real located in accordance with KRS

381.9113(1), as though those units had been taken by eminent domain.

Reallocations shall be confirmed by an amendment to the declaration prepared,

executed, and recorded by the association.
