CODE OF VIRGINIA USE FOR SALES PURPOSES (ยง 55-451) A declarant may maintain sales offices, management offices and models in units or on common elements in the cooperative only if the declaration so provides and specifies the rights of a declarant with regard to the number, size, location and relocation thereof. Any sales office, management office or model not designated a unit by the declaration is a common element, and if a declarant ceases to have an ownership interest in the association, he ceases to have any rights with regard thereto, unless it is removed promptly from the cooperative in accordance with a right to remove reserved in the declaration. Subject to any limitations in the declaration, a declarant may maintain signs on the common elements advertising the cooperative. The provisions of this section are subject to the provisions of other state law and to local ordinances. HISTORY: 1982, c. 277.
