This book is structured to provide a thorough introduction to the substantive law of common interest communities. It weaves threads of corporate law, municipal law, contract law, and other disciplines into basic prinicples underlying community association law (property and servitude law). It also deals with the evolution of community association law and the variations and twists as different state courts address the issues and reflect changes in the developmental experience. In addition, it addresses concerns over the juxtaposition of the group and the individual, the various methods of individual and group ownership, and the relationship between residential and non-residential development, among others. Notes and problems throughout the book are taken from reported cases and from the experiences of practitioners, as well as the experiences of the authors.
