Bylaws must cover the form of administration (administrator, board, or otherwise), how co-owners are called to assemble, that a majority of at least 51 percent is required to adopt decisions, who presides and who keeps minutes, upkeep of common elements, how common expenses are collected, and personnel. Co-owners representing two-thirds of total value may change the system of administration, but the change is not operative until it is recorded the same way as the original bylaws.
