Omaha, NE asked in Real Estate Law for Nebraska

Q: Is this even legal? What options do we have available.

I live in Nebraska. Where I live has 76 condo units. My family amongst us owns 6 of them. 2 are owner occupied the remaining 4 are rentals. Of the 76 units 25 are non-owner occupied with most being rented to the owners family members. The association is now trying to add wording to our bylaws that would allow for only renting to family members. They also want to cap ownership at 2 units per person. They also want to add wording there buying for the purpose of renting would not be allowed except for family.We feel this is discriminatory and targeted toward us as we are the only family with multiple properties owned. Is this even legal? What options do we have available.

A: You have stated there are 76 condo units. I would not be able to give any opinions without doing a conflict of interest check first. Based on your family's ownership of multiple units, I suggest you make an actual office appointment with an attorney.
