5

basis of one vote per unit;
6

(8) that, where there is more than one owner of a unit,
7

if only one of the multiple owners is present at a meeting
8

of the association, he is entitled to cast all the votes

are responsible for the funds held or administered by the
12

association shall maintain and furnish to the association
13

a fidelity bond for the maximum amount of coverage
14

available to protect funds in the custody of the
15

management company at any time. The association shall bear
16

the cost of the fidelity insurance and fidelity bond,
17

unless otherwise provided by contract between the
18

association and a management company. The association
19

shall be the direct obligee of any such fidelity bond. A
20

management company holding reserve funds of an association
21

3

investment account. The management company may hold all
4

operating funds of associations which it manages in a
5

single operating account but shall at all times maintain
6

records identifying all moneys of each association in such
7

operating account. Such operating and reserve funds held
8

by the management company for the association shall not be
9

subject to attachment by any creditor of the management
10

company.

15

agent for a unit owner, unit owners or association of unit
16

owners for the purpose of carrying out the duties,
17

responsibilities, and other obligations necessary for the
18

day to day operation and management of any property
19

subject to this Act. For purposes of this subsection, the
20

term "fiduciary insurance coverage" shall be defined as
21

both a fidelity bond and directors and officers liability
22

coverage, the fidelity bond in the full amount of
23

association funds and association reserves that will be in
24

the custody of the association, and the directors and
25

officers liability coverage at a level as shall be
26

determined to be reasonable by the board of managers, if

HB5585
- 25 -
LRB104 17443 JRC 30869 b
1

not otherwise established by the declaration or by laws.
2

Until one year after September 21, 1985 (the effective
3

date of Public Act 84-722), if a condominium association
4

has reserves plus assessments in excess of $250,000 and
5

cannot reasonably obtain 100% fidelity bond coverage for
6

such amount, then it must obtain a fidelity bond coverage
7

of $250,000.
8

(h) Method of estimating the amount of the annual
9

budget, and the manner of assessing and collecting from
10

the unit owners their respective shares of such estimated

16

charges due and owing from such owner.
17

(j) Designation and removal of personnel necessary for
18

the maintenance, repair and replacement of the common
19

elements.
20

(k) Such restrictions on and requirements respecting
21

the use and maintenance of the units and the use of the
22

common elements, not set forth in the declaration, as are
23

designed to prevent unreasonable interference with the use
24

of their respective units and of the common elements by
25

the several unit owners.
26

(l) Method of adopting and of amending administrative

HB5585

1

rules and regulations governing the operation and use of
2

the common elements.

4

amend the bylaws, but each one of the particulars set
5

forth in this section shall always be embodied in the
6

bylaws.
7

(n)(i) The provisions of this Act, the declaration,
8

bylaws, other condominium instruments, and rules and
9

regulations that relate to the use of the individual unit
10

or the common elements shall be applicable to any person
11

leasing a unit and shall be deemed to be incorporated in
12

any lease executed or renewed on or after August 30, 1984
13

(the effective date of Public Act 83-1271).
14

(ii) With regard to any lease entered into subsequent
15

to July 1, 1990 (the effective date of Public Act 86-991),
16

the unit owner leasing the unit shall deliver a copy of the
17

signed lease to the board or if the lease is oral, a
18

memorandum of the lease, not later than the date of
19

occupancy or 10 days after the lease is signed, whichever
20

occurs first. In addition to any other remedies, by filing
21

an action jointly against the tenant and the unit owner,
22

an association may seek to enjoin a tenant from occupying
23

a unit or seek to evict a tenant under the provisions of
24

Article IX of the Code of Civil Procedure for failure of
25

the lessor-owner to comply with the leasing requirements
26

prescribed by this Section or by the declaration, bylaws,

HB5585
- 27 -
LRB104 17443 JRC 30869 b
1

and rules and regulations. The board of managers may
2

proceed directly against a tenant, at law or in equity, or
3

under the provisions of Article IX of the Code of Civil
4

Procedure, for any other breach by tenant of any
5

covenants, rules, regulations or bylaws.
6

(o) The association shall have no authority to forbear
7

the payment of assessments by any unit owner.
8

(p) That when 30% or fewer of the units, by number,
9

possess over 50% in the aggregate of the votes in the
10

association, any percentage vote of members specified
11

herein or in the condominium instruments shall require the
12

specified percentage by number of units rather than by
13

percentage of interest in the common elements allocated to
14

units that would otherwise be applicable and garage units
15

or storage units, or both, shall have, in total, no more
16

votes than their aggregate percentage of ownership in the
17

common elements; this shall mean that if garage units or
18

storage units, or both, are to be given a vote, or portion
19

of a vote, that the association must add the total number
20

of votes cast of garage units, storage units, or both, and
21

divide the total by the number of garage units, storage
22

units, or both, and multiply by the aggregate percentage
23

of ownership of garage units and storage units to
24

determine the vote, or portion of a vote, that garage
25

units or storage units, or both, have. For purposes of
26

this subsection (p), when making a determination of

HB5585
- 28 -
LRB104 17443 JRC 30869 b
1

whether 30% or fewer of the units, by number, possess over
2

50% in the aggregate of the votes in the association, a
3

unit shall not include a garage unit or a storage unit.
4

(q) That a unit owner may not assign, delegate,
5

transfer, surrender, or avoid the duties,
6

responsibilities, and liabilities of a unit owner under
7

this Act, the condominium instruments, or the rules and
8

regulations of the Association; and that such an attempted
9

assignment, delegation, transfer, surrender, or avoidance
10

shall be deemed void.
11

The provisions of this Section are applicable to all
12
condominium instruments recorded under this Act. Any portion
13
of a condominium instrument which contains provisions contrary
14
to these provisions shall be void as against public policy and
15
ineffective. Any such instrument which fails to contain the
16
provisions required by this Section shall be deemed to
17
incorporate such provisions by operation of law.

facilities; provided that, unless the improvement is
19

mandated by law or is an emergency as defined in item (iv)
20

of subparagraph (8) of paragraph (a) of Section 18, if the

2

the United States or Section 4 of Article I of the Illinois
