Shangri–La asserts, however, that the trial court made a harmless mistake in wording its conclusion. We agree that this error is essentially a scrivener's error. A few sentences later, the trial court found that the board adopted amended bylaws about the authority to shut off water. Thus, from context, it is clear that the trial court meant to say that the covenants grant the right to change the bylaws.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><br><br></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><u><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>Shangri-La Cmty.

Sadri does have the following, but its general approach may no longer have a pulse after Chiwawa, and it is dependent in some ways on the condo statute requirements for specific issues.

RCW 64.32.250(1) states in part: “All apartment owners ... shall be subject to this chapter and to the declaration and bylaws of the association of apartment owners adopted pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.” (emphasis added). RCW 64.32.060 contains a similar directive: “Each apartment owner shall comply strictly with the bylaws and with the administrative rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto, as either may be lawfully amended from time to time, and with the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth in the declaration or in the deed to his apartment.” (emphasis added). The italicized phrases indicate that the provisions are qualified in some way. We read them as indicating that owners need comply only with those bylaws that are consistent with or in accordance with this chapter. The proper procedure for amending or adopting a bylaw must be followed; an association seeking to restrict a use in a bylaw must first amend its declaration if the declaration allows the use. RCW 64.32.250(1) and 64.32.060 direct that owners are subject to and must comply with only those bylaws which are in accordance with the chapter. Since use restrictions must be in the declaration and any unrecorded amendments to the declaration are invalid (RCW 64.32.140), use restrictions appearing in unrecorded amendments to bylaws and not in the declaration are invalid. Sadri and Grazul need not comply with the bylaw restricting leasing because it is invalid. The statute does not allow an association of apartment owners to restrict leasing in a bylaw where the declaration itself permits leasing.<br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black;background:white'>Shorewood W.
