The Condominium Act and the standard by-law with comments
The Condominium Act and the standard by-law with comments
Kristian Dreyer is the author of the first legal commentary on the Condominium Act and the standard by-laws from 2020. This is a classic legal commentary in which the new Condominium Act from 2020 is reviewed and commented on clause by clause, but the normal statute is also included and commented on.
This presentation may differ from other, more theoretical presentations, and Kristian Dreyer makes no secret of the fact that he is a practitioner.
With this book, you get a practical reference work that you will enjoy using in everyday work life. It contains both commentaries on the provisions, but also gives you a basic introduction to the issues and topics to which the commented provisions relate. In this way, this legal commentary may differ from others, but legal commentaries do not necessarily always have to be similar.
The focus is on association law, as this is typically where the disputes and the many day-to-day questions arise.

Condominiums and co-operative housing
This is a traditional legal textbook used in universities and other educational institutions for teaching purposes. The book is also used by courts and lawyers who handle cases involving condominiums and cooperative housing cases. The book provides an introduction to the law of associations and the two types of housing and reviews relevant case law. The book also includes a chapter on buying and selling condominiums and cooperative housing.
Condominium and cooperative housing law is reviewed and commonalities and differences are highlighted. The book is divided into four chapters: the law of associations, condominiums, cooperative housing and the transfer hereof. As the presentation is also aimed at non-lawyers, a number of practical issues are included, and there are some "detours" in the form of topics that may not directly relate to condominium and cooperative housing legislation, but which are nevertheless relevant when working with the two types of housing in practice.
The book is written in a way that hopefully can be used by property managers, real estate agents, lawyers, administrators, condominium owners, cooperative owners and anyone elected to the board of a condominium or cooperative housing association. The purpose of the presentation is to provide these practitioners with a presentation that covers the most important topics.
