Bill > LD1132

This bill amends Maine's condominium laws to protect low-impact landscaping by prohibiting any deed, bylaw, or other governing instrument from preventing property owners from implementing environmentally friendly landscaping practices. Specifically, the bill expands existing restrictions on landscaping limitations to include all portions of a condominium or commonly owned real estate, explicitly adding limited common elements (which are defined as specific areas within a property that are designated for a particular owner's exclusive use but are still part of the common property). The bill also introduces a new provision that prevents the application of pesticides on limited common elements or within 50 feet of a unit without the explicit permission of the unit owner. By doing so, the legislation aims to promote more sustainable and environmentally conscious landscaping practices while protecting individual property owners' rights to manage their immediate living spaces in an eco-friendly manner.
