Condominiums; consents and waivers, arbitration and mediation
SB 121 updates Alabama's condominium laws by banning the use of consents, waivers, or powers of attorney to alter a condominium declaration, requiring direct owner authorization instead. It allows condominium associations to participate in arbitration and mediation (not just court cases) and gives courts authority to use remedies like injunctions, reformation, or declaratory judgments to resolve disputes over declarations. These changes primarily affect condominium unit owners and associations in Alabama, strengthening owner control over declaration changes and improving dispute resolution options. The bill also includes minor technical updates to align the code with current language but does not alter other aspects of condominium governance.
