Legislator summary

AI generated

The court affirmed that the principle of equal treatment, unwritten in property law, applies to homeowner associations, mandating that differential treatment among owners regarding facade advertising contributions must be objectively justified. The rejection of a general directive for future facade usage fees was upheld because such specific individual rights require case-by-case resolution by the assembly, and a blanket rule would impede adherence to particular circumstances. Furthermore, differentiating the commercial unit from residential/office units for advertising contributions was deemed objectively justified due to the former's inherent commercial need for such visibility, upholding the prior decision to reject the request for fee equalization and setting aside the claim for reimbursement as unsubstantiated.
