Iniums in Pennsylvania are governed by the Uniform inium Act, 68 Pa. Stat. §§ 3101 to 3414 (the “UCA”). Although “inium” is a term generally used to refer to an individually-owed unit, it is also a form of ownership where property other than the individual unit is deemed to be common property.
The Pennsylvania General Assembly enacted Act 115, which amends Title 68 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes and impacts the governance of homeowners associations (also known as planned communities), inium associations and cooperatives in the Commonwealth.
Homeowners should direct their complaints against a board member to the HOA board or the community manager. An effective board or manager will handle the complaint properly, even if it concerns one of their own. If need be, homeowners can request to enter dispute resolution.
In a inium, the common facilities are owned directly by the unit owners as an interest appurtenant to the units. In a planned community, the common facilities are owned by the association, and each unit owner has a membership interest in that association because they hold the title to their unit.
