<p class="MsoNormal">The seminal case for condominiums is <i>Shorewood West Condo. Ass’n v. Sadri</i> in which the court held that leasing restrictions are restrictions on “use” of a unit and must be in the covenants. For non-condominium homeowners associations,
you should review <i>Wilkson v. Chiwawa Communites Ass’n</i>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The approval requirements will vary depending on the association’s particular covenants and whether its governing by RCW 64.32, RCW 64.34, RCW 64.38, or RCW 64.90. You’d think it’d be straightforward, but unfortunately it’s not in some
cases. <o:p></o:p></p>
