The council shall, if required by the declaration, the code of regulations, or by a majority of the unit owners, insure the building against loss or damage by fire and such hazards as shall be required or requested without prejudice to the right of each unit owner to insure each such unit owner’s own unit for each such unit owner’s own benefit. The premiums for such insurance on the building shall be deemed common expenses.

25 Del. C. 1953, §  2238;  54 Del. Laws, c. 282;  70 Del. Laws, c. 186, §  1; 

Except as hereinafter provided, damage to or destruction of the building or of 1 or more of several buildings which comprise the property shall be promptly repaired and restored by the council using the proceeds of insurance held by the council, if any, for that purpose, and the unit owners directly affected thereby shall be liable for assessment for any deficiency in proportion to their respective undivided ownership of the common elements. Provided, however, that if there is substantially total destruction of the building or of 1 or more of several buildings which comprise the property and if 75 percent of the unit owners directly affected thereby duly resolve not to proceed with repair or restoration, then, and in that event, the salvage value of the property or of the substantially destroyed building or buildings shall be subject to partition at the suit of any unit owner directly affected thereby, in which event the net proceeds of sale, together with the net proceeds of insurance policies held by the council, if any, shall be considered as 1 fund and shall be divided among the unit owners directly affected thereby in proportion to their respective undivided ownership of the common elements after discharging out of the respective shares of unit owners, directly affected thereby, to the extent sufficient for the purpose all liens against the units of such unit owners.

25 Del. C. 1953, §  2239;  54 Del. Laws, c. 282;  58 Del. Laws, c. 117.; 

Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent the construction of unit properties, as defined in § 2202 of this title, upon land held under a lease by the developer of the unit property, provided that the declaration required under § 2219 of this title shall be signed not only by the lessee, but also by the lessor of the land who holds legal title to the land in fee simple.

25 Del. C. 1953, §  2240;  56 Del. Laws, c. 195, §  5; 

(a) No meetings of unit owners or meetings of any council pursuant to this chapter may be held unless notice of the meeting, with the agenda for the meeting, has been either:

(1) Posted conspicuously in each building in an area open to all unit owners at least 7 days prior to the meeting; or

(2) Sent to the mailing address provided to the council by the owner and mailed at least 14 days prior to date of the meeting.

(b) All meetings of unit owners or meetings of any council shall be open to all other unit owners governed by the same council; provided, however, that where a portion of any meeting of unit owners or any council is reserved for consultations with legal counsel, or for personnel matters relating to employees of the council, such portion of the meeting shall be excluded from the provisions of this subsection.

(c) The council shall maintain written minutes of all meetings of unit owners or the council. The minutes shall be made available to all unit owners.

68 Del. Laws, c. 115, §  1;  69 Del. Laws, c. 94, §  1; 

Any unit owner shall have the right to display the flag of the United States of America, measuring up to 3 feet by 5 feet, on a pole located within the property’s boundaries or attached to the exterior wall of the unit or the common elements proximate to the unit, provided such display conforms with § 316 of this title. This right may not be impaired by any state or private regulation or by any agreement, covenant or restriction whatsoever, including removal of property from the provisions of this chapter under subchapter VI of this chapter.

Unit owners may effect regulations consistent with this section.

70 Del. Laws, c. 178, §  1;  79 Del. Laws, c. 93, §  2; 

Any unit owner shall have the right to display a “For Sale” sign, measuring up to 12 inches by 18 inches (12″ X 18″) on the exterior wall of such person’s unit or the common elements proximate to the unit. Such “For Sale” sign shall be entitled “For Sale”, and contain such information as accurately describes the unit and any applicable names, addresses and phone numbers of the person or persons who are offering the unit for sale, unless unit owners enact a covenant that prohibits this practice.

Developers may initially ban such signs for 2 years from the first sale of a unit, or until 75 percent of the units are sold, whichever comes first.

74 Del. Laws, c. 142, §  1; 

The minimum percentage of the annual budget of a condominium that must be assigned to the repair and replacement reserve will depend on how many of the following components and systems are to be maintained, repaired and replaced by the council:

(1) One or more hallways;

(2) One or more stairwells;

(3) One or more management or administrative offices;

(4) One or more roofs;

(5) One or more windows;

(6) One or more exterior walls;

(7) One or more elevators;

(8) One or more HVAC systems;

(9) One or more swimming pools;

(10) One or more exercise facilities;

(11) One or more clubhouses;

(12) One or more parking garages (but not including surface parking lots);

(13) One or more masonry bridges used by motor vehicles;

(14) One or more bulkheads; and

(15) One or more docks.

In the event that the council is responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement of 4 or more of the above-described systems or components, the minimum percentage of the condominium’s annual budget that must be assigned to the repair and replacement reserve is 15%; if the responsibility extends to only 3 of the above-described systems and components, the minimum percentage is 10%; and if the responsibility extends to only 2 or fewer of the above-described systems and components, the minimum percentage is 5%. In the event that the condominium’s accountant certifies that the funds in the repair and replacement reserve are in excess of the sum required to constitute a fully funded repair and replacement reserve as defined in § 2202(8) of this title, the council shall treat the excess as a common profit subject to distribution pursuant to § 2216 of this title. In the event that the association does not have a current repair and replacement reserve as required by this chapter, the minimum percentages of the association’s budget to be assigned to the reserve study shall be the percentages prescribed in this section.

77 Del. Laws, c. 92, §  9; 

Anything in this title to the contrary notwithstanding, if the amount held by a condominium in its repair and replacement reserve as of October 1, 2009, in lieu thereof,

(1) Constitutes less than 25% of the level of funding required for a fully funded reserve as defined in § 2202(8) of this title, then the council shall have 8 years to make the repair and replacement reserve fully funded (as defined in § 2202(8) of this title);

(2) Constitutes 25% or more, but less than 50%, of the level defined as fully funded, then the council shall have 6 years to make the repair and replacement reserve fully funded (as defined in § 2202(8) of this title); or

(3) Constitutes 50% or more, but less than 70%, of the level defined as fully funded, then the council shall have 5 years to make the repair and replacement reserve fully funded (as defined in § 2202(8) of this title).

77 Del. Laws, c. 92, §  10;  77 Del. Laws, c. 364, §  11; 

A nonresidential condominium may elect to be exempt from the requirement for creating and maintaining a repair and replacement reserve pursuant to § 2211 of this title if the declaration so provides or otherwise by the vote of a majority of the unit owners. A condominium that contains units restricted exclusively to nonresidential purposes and other units that may be used for residential purposes is not subject to this section (and therefore is not required to maintain a repair and replacement reserve) unless the units that may be used for residential purposes would comprise a condominium in the absence of the nonresidential units or the declaration provides that this section applies. Nothing herein shall prevent the establishment of a condominium for residential purposes and a nonresidential condominium for the same real estate.

77 Del. Laws, c. 92, §  11;  83 Del. Laws, c. 173, § 1;
