P.R. Laws tit. 5, § 4617
The property rights, use and enjoyment of the housing units shall be subject to the following rules:
The housing units shall not be used for any purposes that are unlawful, immoral or against good habits and cooperative principles. The housing units shall be exclusively used as housing for the family nucleus in the cooperative community. The transfer, lease or conveyance of the ownership of the housing unit, in whole or in part, shall not be allowed, even if free of cost.
The member-owner[s] shall make, at their own expense, any repairs, cleaning, security and improvements to their housing unit without altering the external facade nor decorating external areas with colors different from those agreed upon in the assembly of member-owner[s], and without disturbing the legitimate use and enjoyment of the other member-owner[s], unless otherwise established in the regulation of the cooperative. The exterior architectural design of the structure shall be understood to be the facade, as established in the master deed or in the bylaws of the member-owner cooperative.
In the event of a hurricane, storm or meteorological hazard warning, the use of any type of temporary or removable shutters shall not constitute an alteration of the facade when performed according to the general rules. Said shutters shall be removed immediately after the meteorological hazard is over.
Member-owner[s] are under the obligation to allow passing through the common area limits of their housing unit or apartment when necessary to conduct maintenance works or improvements to equipment or common elements. Said access shall be coordinated with the member-owner in question so that the enjoyment of the housing unit is affected as little as possible.
The owner of the housing unit shall maintain his/her condition of member-owner of the cooperative, and it shall so be established in the master deed of the cooperatives of member-owners when it is constituted.
All member-owners and resident of the housing unit shall be in strict compliance with the provisions in this chapter, the master deed, the general rules and the bylaws of the cooperative.
The member-owner shall be diligent in the use of the real property and of the common areas, and shall answer to the cooperative for any violations committed by any tenants, visitors or employees of the housing unit, without prejudice to any action which may be in order against such persons.
