Under the law in most states, and certainly in Wisconsin, the Board of your condominium association controls any changes to the exterior appearance. This is generally based on a statute that can’t be changed even by the governing documents. However, things are changing.

This can range from artificial turf to solar panels. In addition, the world is changing relative to emotional support animals, sexual harassment and security. This presentation goes through these various changes and then makes recommendations on how to deal with some of the issues. However, if any of these issues arise at your association, be certain to obtain legal advice from an experienced condominium attorney, since there are generally competing issues that may not be apparent.
