Waltham condo associations enforce master deeds, bylaws, and rules under MGL c.183A s.10, using fines, liens, and Land Court action against violators.
Massachusetts condo associations enforce their master deed, bylaws, and rules under MGL c.183A s.10, which authorizes the organization of unit owners to sue in its own name to enforce governing documents. Enforcement typically escalates from a notice of violation, to fines authorized by the bylaws, to lien recording for unpaid fines, and finally to Land Court action seeking injunctions. Rules must be reasonable and consistently enforced to survive challenge; selective enforcement can be a defense. Federal Fair Housing Act and Massachusetts anti-discrimination law (MGL c.151B) limit enforcement that affects protected classes or reasonable accommodations for disabilities, assistance animals, and religious practice.
